Walking Away

I’m still mostly all of me Life still entices me Laughter given freely Most moments I’m happy But thought of you randomly enters me Tear at my heart and reminds me That you were an impossibility My brain confirms my decision was sound My heart falters and burns There was no relationship to break up Just an unexpected soul connection You touched me with words as beautiful as the sun But in the end our prior commitments won Our other loves took round one I could not tarnish my vows Or tore a heart I swore to protect So instead my heart bears the burden Cracked not shattered no longer in tack Just a little less beautiful

Dear Abigale, Is better to love and lose than not to love. The Spring when we plant flowers ,we know they won’t last But they beautify the moment! Each relationship, no matter How short or real, enriches us and brings love closer. Loved your Poem for it is so true and beautifully expressed! I am back. Thank You for your comment.

Looking deep within your soul, you discover that no matter what external forces that come into play, you are still you with the same morals and ideals! This is a truthful write about who we all are inside! Beautifully expressed, my dear Abigale! Hugs, Jack xox

Your poetry speaks to me. I understand them completely..though, being single and observant to others surrounding me is pulling me away from entering into another relationship. On the outside looking in, marriage seems to not be what it use to be (random thought). But, letting go of someone you love is a hard process. Love is powerful!!

Marriage is still a beautiful thing but I have learned somethings we can't explain in life. They are random. One day you could be walking around blissfully in love and the next moment a stranger could evoke feels in you that shouldn't be there. We just have to choose to do the right things. We cannot control our feelings we control what we do after we discover those feelings.

Also, when you've acclimated yourself with that certain individual for a period of time, it seems as if a part of you is missing when you let go. Its a crazy feeling I must say.
