Too Many Times

This is one of my older poems. I lost the copy I wrote but lately it has been running through my head so I thought I would share it.

Too many times 
I've cried the tears 
Of a broken heart 
and shattered dreams 

Too many times 
I've tried to sleep 
But the loneliness and pain
has been too deep 

Outside the rain cries 
angry tears in the night 
I wish you were here 
to hold me tight 

To tell me you love me 
like you did long ago
To bring new life 
to my damaged soul 

But I know I can't have you 
so I'll keep up the fight 
And pray that my darkness 
will turn into light

A sad and beautiful old poem. Good to hold old memories and thought close. Keep us feeling alive and human. I like the description and how you ended the poem. Sometime praying and sleep is where we can find peace. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Thank you Coyote. Much appreciated.

A sweet but hurting longing. I like how it starts out sort of defeatist and ends in hope. You're very good with structure I admire this.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you means a lot.

This is touching Carolann. The pain of past memories can cause quite a painful sting, but there is always that ray of hope in our lives somewhere. Just a little searching must be done to find it. Beautiful write!

Your sad rhyme brings a heavy heart. This resonates within me...strong write, unfortunate so many have lived among these words.

'Outside the rain cries
angry tears in the night'

In the face of ones darkness there's always some light and the memories of a loved one is not perfect not even in the movies there's always good times as well as bad, but to want something sometimes we know we can't have is always sometimes the hardest to get over. Nice flow of writing and as always keep writing fellow writer.
