She's There

I don't want to write no more. I wish God would open the door. And end these endless thoughts of you. Because when love is through it's through. I don't know what you want from me. I try to trust, but I can't see. The big picture and what is true. And I still don't know what to do. I ask you God to end my life. For I can't bear that she's his wife. Somehow she learned to just not care. That I am here and she is there. I've tried to make it on my own. But emptiness is all that's grown. And now I'm left to carry on. As I just feel like I'm a pawn. These words I write aren't worth a dime. These days they're just a waste of time. They're words that she will never hear. For she is there and I am here. Note: This is another poem I wrote in the hospital. And this new person who came into my life allowed me to let go of this crazy pining I held onto for, well, let's face it. Just a tad bit too long huh? :) lol

Les, this is my favorite of the three. I really like this one here. I think it's the way you metered it and also the way you put it all together. NOT too long at all!!

Poetry can be so cathartic. We can artistically pursue our words and empty out the bad stuff. Be blessed, dear friend!
