The Day Life Ceased

We all have stories about our life experiences... And as much as we can try to focus on the positive things... Sometimes awful events occur that stop our world from turning. We can only try our best to move on and make the world better for others. 

The day life ceased...
By Michelle Morris
05/04/2020

The last day I saw you,
You told me to go for good;
Even though I know
He controlled you,
It stopped my heart cold.

My life ceased that day,
Never to be the same;
I loved you then,
I'll love you forever;
But the years we lost
Hurt my endeavour.

Nothing can ever
Make it up to us;
Nothing can ever
Make it right.
Life still goes on
Around me... 
But I'm still there,
Sitting in that
Restaurant...
Stunned and alone.

A very sad piece my friend. Yes, we must face up to such events. Your verses sing of sadness and loss. Yet you still being her shows your triumph over adversity. Gotta fav thi one as it shows great strength and victory, God bless.

I appreciate your kind words of empathy and understanding. Yes, this is based on my life and that heartbreak has echoed on. But, as you say, I am still here. I am trying to be strong. Victory has been intermittent... But I remain hopeful. ;-) Stay safe and take care. Blessings and best wishes. :-)
