Your Pain

Your pain Why do I feel your pain still When I left of my own free will My mind is heavy with the burdens you build Yet my heart is still tender And vulnerable to your every will When you’re hurting and making bad choices Your voice still touches my every emotion How is it that I still feel your pain Even when I have nothing left to gain Yes, I love you still But be with you, I never, ever will. You had my heart from the very start And slowly our love began to part Two became one, until one was none Off in separate ways for more than 365 days So how is it that to this day Your pain still finds its way Into my life and in my heart where it stays Lay

If we really love someone, their feelings remain important to us even after a relationship has ended up in a separation, Walayee. I do believe compassionate people cannot help but feel the pain of others, especially those they love. I can relate to this deeply moving poem. Welcome to Poetry Soup! It is wonderful to have another talented poet sharing work here. I hope you enjoy your time on the site and look forward to reading more of your work. Love, Carolyn

Hi Carol, Thank you for reaching out and offering your support; I truly appreciate it. I'm so excited to begin this journey. I am looking forward to sharing and reading everyone's work. The biggest challenge I've has so far is selecting the "Form" of writing. Any recommendations on this are welcomed! Happy writing... Lay = )
