Healed Wings

When it's time to accept the past isn't the future.

I found out I won't hate you forever

But I can still be mad about the way you made me pursue so many butterfly-less endeavors

And when you finally come back

I'll be gone

Our home abandoned

I'll be singing my own echoing song

Bird calling in the middle of the night

After all it was a warning sign

Sunflower symbolism in the black and blue hallway and stair light

I'm letting go

Gonna build a home of my own

And move on to the miraculous truth that their are better things

This new person, healed my wings 

The one's that you burn

Down the stairs I'd sneak

But now I'm antique

And the smell of smoke

Is still astounding

It's still calling me to the mountains

Not easy to let go of a relationship even if it is failing badly. I guess you always hope things will change. However, there comes a point in time for sanity:s sake you have to cut the ties. New relationships take time, but at least there are possibilities. Felt this one Colacat.

Thank you so much! I'm glad this was one you could feel. (:

In a painful situation, there is need to move on; however, that is not an easy thing to do; in this poem it seems that your character is tired of being burned by the lover, and wants to move on, even if it may be a struggle. a new relationship always helps one to have hope for better things in life.
Well done!
Best, Betty

I’m a sucker for hope, it’s nice to hear stories of the healing and growth that is born from pain and disappointment.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you! Yes, I also love those stories too, Thank you for the review. (:

Thank you for sharing your pain. The ones we love the most are also the ones that can hurt or destroy us the most and in the end we have to find ourselves all over again. Love the expression "healed wings"...

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate the kind words and the reviews again.

I love how you make regret & the effort of forgetting seem like an effervescent journey of discovery. More people could stand to see breakups this way. We are being released to a "next level" of whatever, so let's open up our antennae & stay vigilant to whatever might be swooping thru the universe! Nicely non-preachy way to tell people to lighten up & get beyond the grinding (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Sometime we have no chose.

Gonna build a home of my own"

Hello my friend and you are welcome.

"When it's time to accept the past isn't the future."

The poem had me at hello, so to say. The epigraph at the beginning is deeply meaningful to anyone that has been struggling to accept, let go and/or move on from a painful experience.

Writing something like this is like one encouraging oneself to actually do it: let go, move on. It's like training till one is truly strong enough to do it.

Hope I wasn't reading things into this poem that were not there...:)
Anyway, I'm glad to have red it; it somehow gave me encouragement and hope.
