Judith S Poet Rhyme

Not Over Yet

Memories will prod me
At the most random times
Frequent as the days pass
Invasive ivy vines

I can’t seem to move you
Past images in my head
I feel that there’s so much
We might have left unsaid

A crevice that has opened
A heart that loves alone
Breaks then into pieces 
Return love hasn’t grown

Hurting with indifference
Yet my anger fleeting
Reliving the good times
In my thoughts retreating

I should think of others
And yet I can’t release
The ember of meaning
In thoughts that won’t cease

And still I am finding
That I just can’t let go
Of the connection we had
That I hoped would grow

No fault to place on you
For my expectation
My mask of anger hides
Disappointment ... rejection

Often words unspoken
Drift to the floor like dust
Morphing into regrets
If only I had just ...

This beyond my control
Nothing to do but wait
Hoping I’ve affected you
Giving it up to fate.

Andrea Dietrich January 20, 2018 at 7:45 PM I so know this feeling, Judith. For me it was not a love affair or anything like that though, Just a dear cousin who rejected me in later life because he did not like the person I had become. (and I never changed at all!!!) It's so hurtful. this one really shows the hurt. Judith S January 20, 2018 at 8:16 PM Andrea ... my goodness you are going waaaaay back now lol!!! Thank you so much my dear friend for visiting and commenting. ~ Judy

Silent One November 2, 2017 at 3:37 PM When we dont say things we need to it... many times we never get the chance to say it.. Deeo write about losing someone prematurely.. Silent One November 2, 2017 at 6:40 PM Typo! Meant to say deep. Judith S November 2, 2017 at 5:13 PM Sadly ... you are right SO. I will look for Deeo. Thank you!

Richard Lamoureux October 28, 2017 at 8:51 AM We can't help who we love even if they don't love in return. Still it is better to feel as it is our connection to our own humanity. When you one day find your true love this love will pale by comparison. This is well expressed angst. Judith S October 29, 2017 at 10:47 AM Dear Richard ... such wonderful words of understanding and hope :) Thanks for reading!! ~ Judy
