Asking myself
why I let you in
Answering........'I was just as lonely as you'
99 reasons to leave....
why...inquiring minds want to know
should I
shouldn't I
bad love.....good love
which is the best?
a hundred hearts would be too few
to carry all my love for you
my massive vision...now crushed
checking my soul mirror
and I just know
my absence will be only a sign
of things to come.
my mind caught up
in a maze
.....watching the past...
and love
disappearing
as trees strain the windows of our existence
Life is but a dream anyway
..feeling like ashes from a cigarette half-smoked
while listening to half-truths at half time
Ash tray filled....with ifs
ands
and butts
whispers of...
what about us
what happened to us
when is it gonna be
about us
I waited for ever....
but ever
never
came
It hurt that you couldn't see me
It hurt that you couldn't wait for me
It hurt that you couldn't remember me
and all we did to be free
I had so many reasons to leave
but you beat me to it
I cried the first time you left.
I waited for your return.
I waited
and waited
on the doorsteps of everything
I thought we could be
you came back
but you didn't really
come home
" I can call love by its name
When thine arm is wrapt about me;
But even love seems not the same,
When I sit alone, without thee.
Dost thou love me, my Beloved? "
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning~
Alone here
where I usually am
recessing in my thoughts
waging a vigil for you
little time logged sleeping,
or doing anything else...but thinking about you.
got 99 reasons to leave
and only one to make me stay
praying for you
In quiet confidence...I waited.
and waited...
and waited
and
waited
What went wrong..this time?
Why couldn't you for once
believe in only me..
only me
only
me
called you...
no answer..
no last goodbye
I can't take this anymore
better for both of us
if this time
I
close that door

.. loved reading yuor ..addendum to..Roggy..:)
ReplyDeletegood love .? bad love..
well bad love...will turn to good Love...with an effort from both Hearts...
I so agree, Caroline....both hearts have to be on the same page. We waste so much time waiting for them to change, and they don't...99% of the time...so there you go...99 reasons to leave lol
ReplyDeletethanks for feeling my unique logic lol
and a beautiful song Joyce...thankyou..![hugs]]
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to move on even without closure
ReplyDeleteLonging...I read longing...
ReplyDeleteyou most welcome lady...
ReplyDeletea mouth full you exposed, Kevin. That's exactly where I am, and I vow to do it this time....
ReplyDeletethanks for reading between the lines..
longing for what else..besides peace and to be able to go on to the next phase...
ReplyDeleteLyssa, thanks for reading, and sifting through the lines, and leaving is almost never 100%. At least in my book, because each time I loved, I wanted it to last forever... I.J.S.
Longing: Checking my soul mirror, mind in a maze, absence, life is but a dream, I waited forever, and waited and waited, waging a vigil, what went wrong...
ReplyDeleteSee...longing!
Ummmm maybe...but in my point, it is more trying to find closure in self, allowing self to step out of the madness and give someone else a chance. Shoot, I am the only one who can really leave.....think on that...lol
ReplyDeleteBut I love that you feel this, and the afterthoughts that make me go back and read my own words again....(I will read it once it settles in my being...)
you wrote
ReplyDeletei listened
i cried
It was really familiar because I just had an ending with no closure not too long ago myself. It is what it is though. Closure is ultimately our own responsibility anyway... if nobody will give it to us, we have to create our own :) God will give you all the answers you need. What he doesn't reveal isn't important.
ReplyDeleteVery emphatic!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how I can read your work n relate so easily
i like the wisdom of those words ...
ReplyDeletesighhhh
now to try and get started on the process
very envisaging...............you do have a way with words my friend...
ReplyDeletethank you Vinnie...just someone to listen is worth more than money....glad you could feel this...
ReplyDeleteKevin, I can't do nothing but nod my head...yep...yep..cause you dong the real talk with me on this one...and even when I in my mind considered praying..and you summarizing that if He 'don't' reveal the answers...then it's good to just let it be...
ReplyDeleteI thank you...so much!
Roggy, thank you...for opening the channels of writing for my muse.....I'm glad you can feel me...
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom...I just find the words that sum up the voices screaming silently inside my head.....not what everyone else is saying...but what I really really feel...
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE SO SKILLFUL....LIKE A SURGEON, LIKE YOUR LEADING AN ORCHESTRA....PERFECT PERCISION...AND PRECISE PLACEMENT
ReplyDeletethank you thank you thank you..and I loved how it read coming from you....!!
