Free Cee Tomorrows Sentinel of Sorrow

i clearly hear the echo of words that once thrilled me so but that voice now belongs solely to the past they were wondrous words that once filled me so but that voice wove a spell that desperation cast i was desperate to find a smile that sorrow stole and desperation had taken it's toll on me i was desperate to fill a darkened and hollow hole yet the sentinel of sorrow stole the soul in me your sweet smile said so many silent things to me things i, for so long, had prayed to hear and now the voice of happiness no longer sings to me because then i heard words i was so afraid to hear those woeful words were the sentiments of your final goodbye you rehearsed and cursed me for things i'd never done i stood by you until i heard your final lie and i left hurting more deeply then anyone it ws a fundamental falsehood i could not abide and so i packed my suitcase and moved far away sadly you've never admitted how severely you had lied and that's why you are now the proud possession of yesterday (c) 2012.....PHREECEE ~free cee!~

"struming my fate with his fingers, singing my life with his words" thats what this poem did to me but with more tragic results. i'd say 80% of this i can apply to a past relationship. i only wished i could have packed up and moved away.

reality bites. this poem affected me because of it's reality. love is not perfect for most of us. it has it's thorns lies being among them. and moving away, being a consequence of self determination seems to be no reward but a punishment for being foolish. a crime of having feelings we cannot control that will either destroy us or the one we love.
