Farewell

~He Left~

I woke up blind 
with no light 
unable to fight back 
I couldn't understand why 
you left my hand 
allowing yourself 
to pretend 
it was a love approaching 
than you ended it 
never told me
it`s a dead end.

I had no back entrance to my heart
all doors were sealed 
when you made 
me bleed, 
couldn't begin to heal 
my pain overturned
my decision to deal
with my coming minutes 
seconds and hours
awake ready to break
any door even to crawl
on the floor and survive 
before I dive deeper 
into an ocean
none desire to coop
with the raging waves
my love was done
I will float till a boat
could find me or none.

Hello dear Michael. Don't worry about me, I swear I am happy, I enjoy my moments every second, I love to be alone in my apartment, I love writing, my TV shows, talking to my sister through Skype, she lives in Calgary Alberta, I travel usually for 5 months to stay with my son in San Francisco, as he has a triplex and he leaves the studio down for me. Bye have a great evening. Terry xo

T..I feel familiar with your words...I have been alone only two years of my almost 54..although among the hurt and loneliness I felt despair I also found strength in confidence of I'm an OK person alone..I opened up to strangers and lonely children and found so many people need more than passion. Its that different love that satisfies me anyway the most..but I hope you find that person who deserves you...great poem..

Your emotions just pour out here and I really get the essence of "farewell" I just loved how the last several lines all so easily fell into that nice rhyming pattern, Terry. I have a few more comments to get to and then I'll call it a night.Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
