Beginning

I thought we were going to be together forever

Because of us being from the magic world when

All the signs said that we were always going to be together

Now you look at me, and I don't want to be with you anymore

Because you didn't believe me

When I told you, and I was being completely sincere

Now when you try to approach me

I dont want to be with you

I learned all that by myself, without you

With no one to talk to when your

Farewell took the happiest days of my life

Leaving me sad, with a cold soul in solitude

I don't want to remember

How many days I cried

With the only ones to listen

Were the ghosts from the other world

Telling me to be quiet

Because I was waking them up

Don't get near me

I don't want to remember that

I don;t want to be friends with your friends that are going to hell

Don't look at me, I don't want to know you

[Coyote Poetry]

Powerful poem of regret. Hard to grasp when someone isn't believing what we believe. I wanted to read more. You left the reader with question and the desire to know more. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I normally don't use this style of writing because of not wanting to put my guard down, but after I read your poem "She kissed me once and once only" by Coyote Poetry, I was truly impressed and inspired and saw that it was possible while still being protected.

Thank you, your work is amazing, I've read several of them from years back and truly also admire your interpretations of fellow writers.

Thank you again for opening that door.

Sincere Gratitude

Such a painful write of loss... of letting go... there is a courage in solitude... a strength in having to walk away.. but it leaves so much sorrow in its wake. Powerful.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Thank you for your interpretation C Froman, the poem is about when we have strong reason to let go and then their presence becomes insignificant and when they notice that, they start to try to get our attention again.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Maybe you know what I am talking about the one that got away, a way to let go of a person, without having their heart broken.

[An owl on the moon]

Yes.. it is something I know too well... the wishing.. the longing.. and the endless wondering... :(

'Telling me to be quiet
because I was waking them up'

Love that stanza!
Sharp, concise poetry. Images written so as to be both personal, and also the reader can reflect on their own hurts and regrets.
Very Nice!

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Thank you for your interpretation, I wrote it about a time that never want to go back to, it is suppost to be a little about the dead that they only have the past to remember about and that they cant fix and about the present living that we have a future to mold and that is best not to be as the dead that do not have a future to live for.

the hurt that can be generated by betrayal and disappointment often leaves scars on the soul. closing a door and forging ahead is the appropriate remedy. by no means easy but how can one go on otherwise?
well penned poem. really good.

[NoelHC]

It is frightening how a deep love for another can turn to loathing and hatred when they hurt you so badly.
You have done an excellent job of expressing that here.
I note in a comment to one of the reviews that you don't normally write this style of work, but I would encourage you to explore this side of you more, you are so good at this.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Thank you for your interpretation, since we were little we were trained not to feel sadness and for that reason that sadness does not exist and not to express sad feelings so that the sad spirits dont manifest in us, that is what happened.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

[Kristina Moulaison]

Wow!

This piece is explosive and right on point.

I can definitely relate to this, myself. I always enjoy reading new flavors and this is one of them...

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Thank you, is about persons that met in an enchanted neighborhood and then the person telling the other person, "take your ghosts to your neighborhood we think in different languages", which signifies "use different streets because I dont pass by in front of your house".

[Angel Bird]

I like this piece. It's touching. Through your words one can feel and remember the devastating pain of a heartbreak. Well done.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Thank you for your interpretation, this was almost the hardest poem to write because of the feelings in it.

[JenniferMarie]

I really liked this poem because it makes you feel. It is relateable.

beautiful poem.

[Dayran]

A wonderful poem that hits all the high notes of concern in a relationship ... of the issue of affection ... individual natures ... love's everlasting promises and our concerns as regards our own behavior. To have stated that in philosophical study would have been brilliant but to declare it in verse is sublime. Nice.
