Gracefully

I’m hurting inside with such misery feeling like death at times dismissive falling to my knees Trying so hard to make you happy with love and reflection dreams now shattered can’t understand these thoughts inside me Distortion is fogging my inner complexion Time seems blissful with every interaction You think you can buy my love that I hold relationship ended my love won’t be sold All I ask for is a simple hello hurtful responses emitting pain in my soul Do I still feel the passion as when we first met? Inept remembrance in that secrecy our love kept This destructive relationship hurts me so so deep Never before have I been this oblique Transgressions aside you know I’ll stay true Remember that time when I looked in your eyes exchanging our vows as making promises to you All that is over now as if it never happened Our lives were one with love and devotion now they are nothing as water ebbs from the ocean I’m not knowing what to do can’t hide my emotions I suppose with time you and I will heal except with someone else which will be the second time someone kneeled Thanks for your grace your willingness to be true always remember that I am always here for you Be safe in your passage looking up into the night if you ever need me my dear I will be there despite Be safe Be true be everything that makes you be you One day another will recognize everything as the things you dream too

Very passionate and honest, Matt, and some great imagery and phrasing ... your pen is bleeding painfully here, but willingly as well, and that adoring desperation is something I know so well. Nicely done and adding to my faves! Thanks for steering me your way - drop a note anytime! Blessings! :o)

I’m honestly flattered by the response and kind words. Trying to visualize thoughts of love, temptations, happiness, whatever it may be to let anyone who reads it, hopefully feel the PASSION that I’ve felt then I’ve done my job with the pen. I’m a nobody but I’ve been writing since I was 16yrs old (42) now. Many notebooks filled but I still write almost daily. Thanks

Matt, if this is close to the reality, remember that line.."I am always there for you" A nice writ
