Lonely Past

I sit alone surrounded by a million strangers. My broken heart is still falling apart. Time tries to mend the wound but the pain of the past overwhelms any hope of the future. Every day the sands of time fall through the hour glass of life each grain carries memories of a time that once was and of something that will never be. Every time I see your smile I remember your eyes looking at me and the peace I felt at that moment, I have never felt again.

Blaine, so many of us have been through times such as you describe. It takes some of us years to recover from a loss. Eventually, though, we usually do find that "peace" again with someone new. I am feeling now much the way you are in this poem, but I have to keep hope alive. Thanks for your comments -- cancer took many people in my family, but grandpa was the first. I'm sorry for your loss. Best wishes, Carolyn
