Goodbye Heartache

What have I done? 
Have I thrown it all away? 
Can I ever get it back? 
Has my life gone astray?

Questions with no answers
Confusion my only friend
I keep hoping to find me
It’s like spitting in the wind

I look all around me 
I see you standing there
But nothing that you do
Shows me that you care

One minute I think I see it
A love so pure and true
Then as I blink I realize
There’s nothing here but YOU

You want me for what I give 
And use me for all I do 
Nothing I’ve ever wanted
Seems to be important to you

It was a simple promise
A vow from within my soul
Now I’m trying to find myself
But feeling very alone

As you sleep I hear the sighs
Born within the man I know
Wanting me to be different
Accepting me; OH NO

I have given everything 
To make this marriage work
But now I feel I must move on
No matter how it hurts

Goodbye to the heartache
So long to the pain
It’s time to find the little
Of my heart that still remains.

(Part #2)without dating anyone,the healing process is something that is different for everyone but a time will come when everything will fit into it's rightful place and then after I have healed completely something will happen and I will find someone new so that I can go on a new journey and start seeing life through there eyes instead of my own.Please have a wonderful weekend,God bless you , Dean

Hi Lena time will flow like a river and you will find your gentle stream just take a walk by the meadow to get your thoughts in order and the birds will sing you a lullaby and the butterflies will set you free from your thoughts and take you on a wonderful journey as your mind takes flight to a new destination of discovery.Thank you for your kind critique today your thoughtfulness is appreciated,I have spent the last two years on my own,(To be continued)

heart touching narrative that hit close to home. You said it with class. calls for a divorce party celebrations of he new journey and remembrance of the little that remains. Being a divorcee'; I think you. In contrast please read my You Bring Out The Best In Me. Thanks! Susan

Wow, compelling write Lolita, regaining what remains is vital in the letting go. I hope this is just a poem and not a reflection on your reality. If not, stand for what is right in your life...Raul

Such a powerful description of a turning point many men and women face. "To Thine Own Self Be True" is not a selfish expression but is a synopsis of this poem you have just done ... smile ... Excellent writing here, Lena!!

Emotional expressions, Lolita, from your pen today.. I hope this is not u personally ... but if so.. u have a friend in me who has also experienced this hurt... healing happens slowly ... romance is wonderful when first found... keeping it is the hard part.. when it ends... growth occurs and time to move on... the heart still pumps.. and the aches disappear eventually... I wish u blessings... luv... and a happy Sunday... Linda-Marie, P.E.P.S. "Sweetheart"

Sad but I know you will find it, we have to love ourselves to stop the pain so we can find true happiness and start again, love Simone
