Poem
As I look out over the water So many memories wash over me When I need some time away Here is where I want to be Even though I know I shouldn’t keep coming here There's something about this place that draws me in And I just can't stay away I tell myself it's not the memories from back then But then I'm left to wonder What is it about this very place So many memories I just can't shake Somehow I find so much peace in this space I've tried to find somewhere closer to home But nowhere I ever go can compare And even in being here The pain from those memories I still bare I keep coming back for one last time But in my mind I know the truth No matter where I run I can't escape my past And the beauty of this place Outweighs any pain you ever put me thru After everything that happened between us I never thought I'd get over you But here and now I know That over you I may never really be But to live without you Has become so much easier for me And though I never thought it possible I've learned to love once more I'm so much happier than I have been in so long It's nothing like the love I felt before But then again how can you really compare No two loves are ever the same And I think that was something I had to learn To you my words may seem so lame But to me they are words of wisdom Words I learn from, words I live by In my life and in my poems every day I grow Learning more and more That words my mother once spoke Are becoming more and more true As I learn that even without you After everything you put my heart thru I can, I will, and I have loved again The pain I had to bare because of you The tears I shed And the loves I lost Were only stops along the way Building me up higher and higher Proving that within those secrets I held inside Was a strength I was never certain I had But one that has brought me here Stronger than I was before And yet not as strong as I will one day Growing with each that passes Knowing that with all that I've been thru There's nothing I can't face No pain I can't bare And no scar on my own heart That won't find it's own way to heal!!!!
