Martha Reeves Poet Rhyme

Tears On My Pillow !

They'll be tears on my pillow tonight,for me it seems like fate.

That every time I trust I lose, and usually all to late.

The pain of false affections can wound a peaceful soul.

Send it spinning the wrong direction, toward a dark and lifeless hole.

Of pain I know much, but keep it deep inside.

My pleasures though their few, I do not choose to hide.

Life will continue on, and I must make my way.

Tomorrow is on the horizon, and past will be this day.

Maybe I'll find that someone, or maybe he'll find me.

Someday, somewhere we'll meet, if it's truly meant to be.

Michelle Converse January 16, 2009 at 8:36 PM I can really relate to this poem. I've basically given up on love not because I don't want it but because of dealing with too much "false affections." However, I feel that if it's meant to be, it will happen. Nicely done.

Sandy Schermerhorn December 27, 2008 at 11:30 AM this is a touching and beautiful write, I loved how you took the pain and turned it into as much as a positive as you possibly could given the pain in your heart this poem tells me that you are a person whom loves deep and long and never loves in vain your person is out there so hold on to your belief and faith again great write
