Love Lessons

I have loved and been loved
Luckier than most I guess
Someone said that "We learn from our mistakes"
Perhaps, but what do you do when you are
making them?

Everyone has an opinion on this subject
and with great respect I would like to say
Love is not a bicycle you may get back up on
Nor are there other fish in the sea.

Well, maybe there are however these words
are harsh and devastating to the person who's
heart is breaking. I think it is hard to know
what to say when someones life has been torn apart.

One's heart is wounded and your soul feels darkened
The only thing I can or will conclude for sure is
that there is a grieving process.  Who knows for how
long or what fate has made ready for you.

Each of us must endure our tomorrows no matter
what they might bring.
For me personally my life is visited by shadows now
I feel caught in that moment between what was,
what could have been, and what should be.

I think we lie to ourselves when we say "I'm all right
it doesn't bother me anymore." Of course it bothers me!
Feelings are feelings no matter how you disguise them. 

If there can be any good news in all this soup
filled with Grief, Sadness, Heartbreak and Loss
It is as the song said " You can only cry so many
tears"

I cannot keep returning to the ending, I know now
that I must indeed start looking for a new beginning.
So what if you must re-visit and start things again
Perhaps the next time I will get it right.

Maybe, just maybe it takes a lot of yesterdays
to make a great tomorrow...
