I'M Sorry I Dissappeared

Things were difficult enough, before things had changed,
My mind rushed to deal with things that just got rearranged.

It's been so long and I'm not sure what to say,
My life took a turn on me, back on that day.

My eyes were covered with pain so deep,
Nothing had prepared me for this painful trip.

Things were moving along so smooth,
then one phone call, made my earth move.

I cared about nothing, but what was in front,
expecting you to be mad, for pulling this stunt,

Ashamed of myself for not being better,
Not sure I could say how in this letter.

But I want you to know, I missed you all so much,
Hopefully, I'm back and haven't lost my touch.

I speak to you now, from deep within my heart,
I'm not the same person, simply just one part.

Part of my soul has died and will never be the same,
I must grieve and move forward now without any shame.

I am so sorry that I left you all my dear friends,
All I can say, is that I will try to make amends.

I'm not sure what to expect, from pouring my heart out like this,
You should know that you all deserve better, I give you one big kiss.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/18/2014 7:41:00 PM Donald, I can't remember if I ever knew you very well from before. I don't think so and whatever happened to you, I hope you are getting better now in your life. Hard times make it so difficult. I was very worried a lot last year!!

Joyce Johnson Date: 4/16/2014 10:07:00 AM You could have won your own contest with this poem, Donald. I am sorry and I understand that life takes us away sometimes. I am glad you are back and I hope feeling better. Thank you for my placement in this contest. I had to read it twice to be sure it was mine. Love, Joyce Login to Reply Donald Williams Date: 4/16/2014 10:17:00 AM Thank you for your understanding Joyce, it is entirely unfair for all my contestants to have had to wait and I do feel terrible for that. as my personal pain has slowly cleared the last few months, I have thought of ways to repay my friends here. They deserved better from me and that, I hope, will never happen again.
