Beginning or the End?
Why did you leave? Was it planned by design?
Why did you leave? Arenât I your world?. youâre  mine!âŚ
Why did you leave? With no whispered goodbye,
Why did you leave?  Why not stay and still  try?
Â
You stifled my soul and ..thatâs why Iâm gone
You grew far too cold and.. thatâs why Iâm gone
You love only you so âŚthatâs why Iâm gone
I love someone new and⌠thatâs why Iâm gone
Â
This poem is a combination of Anaphora poetry, where there is a word or phrase repeated at the start of the line (eg Martin Luther King âI have a dreamâ ..repetition of âGo back toâ )and Epiphora where the repeated word or phrase is at the end of a line

Another totally different type of poetry!! this is another one I have not tried yet but will now!!  Nice example of how to combine this well into poetry- well done ! xx
You are welcome Steviec! xxx
Hi Cherie, ...sometimes it's really helpful to challenge yourself - it makes the subject matter more difficult to 'put together' but it does concentrate the mind and plus it keeps me awake!....however now back to standard writing for a while1 Thanks for reading and commenting always good to hear from you xxx

Hey LG!!..... I like this for its forthright attempt to explain away the pain that your lead character is experiencing...... it's poetic, evasive, clever, and lands heavily on the edges of brilliance!!!..... but..... like Ansell Adams(sp.?) used to say about his magnificent black & white photographs ..." I can't seem to find the truth with all that color getting in the way!"...... you're awesome girlfriend!!.....thanx for sharing this!!......ALL STARS!!...... LOVE and ROCKETS!!.....T xo ?ââ´âł????
You are so welcome! Loving the analogy ,sometimes we need to just get back to bare basics..Oops sounding like a certain British politician now! Thank you so much brother Poet you always give me an insight of clarity! Â Xxx

My Dear Lodigiana,
You broke my heart, when I trusted you
You broke my heart, when your indifference grew
You broke my heart, when you said goodbye
You broke my heart, leaving me high and dry
.
Your jealous rage, is why I left
In fights engaged, is why I left
Your lack of trust, is why I left
Our love gone bust, is why I left
.
Love,
