Terri Birchfield Poet Ballad

Still

So frustrated
Bitter and hurt 
Searching for answers
The key to make it work
With every little beat
My heart breaks even more
With every uncertain breath
I grow even more unsure
You loved me once
I'd swear it was so
Your love for me now gone
Lost somewhere along the road
Can we find our way back
Has the feeling gone for good
Dont' you know I'd change things
If only I thought I could
You're so very distant
Almost never, do we touch
You know, I can't remember ever
Wanting anyone quite so much
Can we turn back time
Rewind the clock, so to speak
Bring back all those feelings
You once felt for me
My soul, so very shattered
Battered, beaten and worn
A bruised and broken heart
Dying, lying, scattered and torn
Aching to the core
Yearning to the bone
Shamelessly mourning
The loss of what once was known
Why is our laughter
Replaced by bitter tears
This love, once so amazing
Then brought down with hidden fears
Forever hoping with the dawn
Your heart will, again, be mine
Praying to wake from this nightmare
To find our 'once upon a time'
Do you feel the pain
As it echoes off these walls
Do you ache with longing
Or feel nothing for me at all
Is this just my imagination
Conjuring fears that need not be,
Is it just too much to hope for
That you still be in love with me
No answers to these questions 
So unsure of how you feel
Yet with all these uncertainies
I'm certain I love you still

Katie Telling February 6, 2012 at 12:35 AM Reading this broke my heart... I know these feelings so well and I know how hard it is to get through times like these. But just know that you WILL be ok, and life will go on, just never ever give up. You're not alone :)
