That's what I Get
Right when i thought it was time to start (that's what I get) Everything started falling apart (how could i forget?) Broken heart Finding out I was never a part... As soon as I think I've found (that's what I get for thinking) What I think is stable ground (how could i keep forgetting?) I start to hear a familiar sound My...

Really a goodbye?
Nobody told me The fear of losing For loving someone so hard Was something so harsh Saw you then not too long after Give or take just years later Turned my head back, saw your smile Happiest I've felt in a while...

Always Losing
In a café's hush, two lovers sit as pawns, at dawn's closed gate before hope dawns. They clutch their marriage paper, creased and thin— proof against arrest for love's small sin. The morality police come with boots of dust, their eyes demand: "Show papers or be crushed." A wedding ring means little, vows mean less, when breathing love becomes a crime to...

Losing Sight
As my eyesight dims nature's colors fade in shaded whims books treasured, now unread, may not forge the future ahead. I would give the words away but I know too well today how few of them would find a place where the messages could flow safe; Walden, Leaves of Grass, the Caged Bird,...

The Quiet Weight of Losing
There comes a dusk we do not choose, A hush that steals the flame from fight, When even victors seem to lose In shadows cast by fading light. The moment comes with silent tread, No trumpet sounds, no grand farewell— Just echoes where our hopes have fled, A ringing we remember well. What dreams we held like sacred thread Unravel...

THE PAIN OF LOSING TO YOURSELF
For me life is suppose to be a fight between you and yourself. A fight to the death, were you’re supposed to push for success. Only after when you came face to face with your greatest enemy, Which in this case, the greatest enemy of yourself is yourself. Sky is the limit only applies to those who are ready...

Premium Member Losing my pink glasses
I misplaced my pink glasses, I had put them on a shelf. Had the fey come along and taken them – a faerie or an elf? I looked all over, getting frustrated up to a ten or an eleven. My husband said, “look up, as if you are looking to heaven.” I looked up and up and up and...

Songs of Wababu
The thought of losing you has left me insane. The idea of you not being in my life has made me weak. I know distance and time has blocked us, but not at one time have I not thought of you. I love you....

I survived even after losing
I survived even after losing' I was that girl, who was afraid of questions, But life taught me to become the answer. In the house where voices were suppressed, There I made my identity with silence. I broke down, but did not fall apart, She embraced every pain, but did not complain to anyone. When my own people trampled my hopes, I bowed...

Premium Member Losing the glow
I wander where the afternoons were so warm and golden and wonder why pleasant woods and beautiful lakes desert me leaving just trees and water I wander where the orange sunset painted the purple sky and wonder why The awe at the light show leaves my heart I become colorblind to nature's art. I go inside to where the parlor was full of happy...
