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.

Deep, sad, but beautiful at the same time. I feel this is like sleepless nights, not being able to turn off the brain to sleep because of the pain or frustration. I really love your last stanza; how it brings it all together perfectly. Thanks for writing.

been here, done this.....so many times. these tears are real and tangible. this write is painful and beautiful at the same time. memories are bittersweet when they are of an unrequited love. nicely penned.

written so openly
flows nicely through out-to bring new life to my damaged soul-beautifully written
Too many times just sounds like you mean it
thank you for sharing

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thanks Holly, yes I really mean it.

The longing and the pain are heartfelt. I particularly like the last stanza for the positivism it impart- a sort of declaration of acceptance and hope for better days. beautifully written.

[Carolann Dowsett]
