A Window With a View

The sun came up as I remembered the day he kissed me and named me “his beautiful queen” Now, I am no longer his love nor do I fill any of his dreams. In a window- I sat forever it seemed waiting, hoping, and praying he’d return with the love he once sang to me. But each car that came it only then passed, and there, in that window, still- there I just sat feeling my heart hurt as I struggled not to gasp. I couldn’t help but wonder just where could he have been or how it had so easily came to be how he could have once loved me but now were no longer consumed by images he said he dreamed of me. Thoughts of me now he’s chosen to forsake- there in that window I felt my heart hurt and then I felt my heart break! The night slowly crept back into the day I sat and I pondered... how it were me trapped by a love, my own love I had so easily gave away? Tears, they fell from cheek to page... in each tear that fell the truth became clear and then I began to see- the love we once shared, our love he had taken and gave to another before returning my heart back to me.

Beautiful beautiful Kerrie. Reading your poem caused memories to surface when I myself lacked understanding in the ways of compassion and love. But the thought that rang most true. Was that one day you'll meet the one and then know why it didn't work before. You're simply being saved for something greater. God bless. Ed

Hi Kerrie. I feel your pain in the words you have so emotionally and tenderly placed into your poem. It is always hard to loose a love so grand but it surely does prepare us to be more insightful with life and love. The heart is fragile and you have shared your heart with us and because of that you will be stronger. A pleasure to read..... Robert.

This poem is nice. It expresses a lot of emotions. So touching. Yeah it's really sad when someone you love leaves you and doesn't come back. That's how things are. Nothing is permanent in this world. I am curious about what really the story behind this poem is. :)

This is a beautiful poem, laid out well and described with feelings written with the heart and edited by a poetic soul. A personal and up close look into the private life of a woman abandoned by love. Emile. #7
