Once Again

Once again
we say goodbye
With tears unshed
hidden in our eyes

You come into my life
and then you leave
Memories drift away
on the summer breeze

I love you
more than words can say  
But there's no truth left
in the games we play

It's a tug of war
between head and heart
A battle of wills
that tears us apart

 

Oh how I wish
that you would stay
For one more moment
one more day

That we would finally surrender
into the arms of love
Let go of our fears
and learn to trust

But instead you turn
and walk  away
Leaving too many words
left to say

Unspoken promises
that slowly die
While pains reflection
dances In our eyes

And I try so hard
not to cry
As once again
we say goodbye

Sometimes tis harder to express what hurts deeply.. hurt isn't easily explained, too much involved, too many emotions and tangents in that one word 'hurt'. Seems to me you've flown away tho.. expressed how in part, and, maybe in doing that, you reached a place with some kind of a welcome. So hope so, you deserve it..

'That we would finally surrender ~ into the arms of love ~ Let go of our fears ~ and learn to trust ' - so important.. trust.

Thanks so much :)

how are you doing?

[Carolann Dowsett]

I'm doing well thank you. Life has been rather hectic lately though. How are you?

[Chris]

this one is tough... I understand the flow... but the trust doesn't feel there - just a wish-it-was... to me. Some times you want what you can accept for the moment... no promises, no tomorrows... just the nows. And sometimes you just have to take what you can.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Yes you are right it never had substance anyway and I was having a hard time expressing what I wanted to say.

[Lonnie Paul Johnson]

Bittersweet, tragically beautiful write, I felt this one Carolann.

Unspoken promises
that slowly die
While pains reflection
dances In our eyes

Favorite verse, and most painful. Tearful ending, 'once again'.....

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thanks Frieda good to see you again :)

[Frieda P]

My pleasure Carolann, haven't seen you around in a while. :-)

[Carolann Dowsett]

I was away for ages no computer and busy life. Sort of back now though :)

[Frieda P]

Glad to see you back, I was gone for a while too, getting back into the swing of things. :-)

[Carolann Dowsett]

Yes I noticed. I'm glad you came back. :)

So very sad my friend. Tears left on the door step and he waves goodbye. This is very well written Carolann and so filled with saddness. My heart breaks with this poem.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thanks so much Jack :)
