Still there?

lost love trying to live again

Why don't you stop this? Why can't you go?

All the way, I've bought the play 

and the reasons you should know.

I felt the grass under your feet give way

I wondered if the world ended 

I stopped thinking and gave you away.

I come back, I still care, I want to know

I want to know, I want to know

Are we still there?

Unfolded scars revealed in the dark

I considered a pleasant ending

to let you go without a mark.

Leaving was my greatest gift

staying so hard for a wanderer

I gave reason to our rift.

I want to know, I want to know, I have to know....

Can we still be there?

I've wondered this about an old love. I let him go for good reasons but its still hard to think about the what ifs! I love the way you express these thoughts... ;-)

I see the trucker in you, talking. 'staying so hard for a wanderer..' I want her to be there! Angi~

Thanks Ang.... actually, this wasn't about any particular woman, just a general feeling.

[Frieda P]

Full of regret and questioning, sounds like love and life in a nutshell, nice read, been there. Enjoyed this Mark.

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem asked true questions of love. We come to a path where we must decide is it love or there is nothing left? I like the honest feel and emotion in the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

beautiful poem

[Leslie Philibert]

John has reviewed this well - the poem well written, the content convinces !

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A echoing pleading poem tinged with deep regret. It sounds as though the protagonist left to make a point but made it too well. Nicely portrayed.

John, I wrote this thinking it was not related to my life in anyway, and then I read your review and realized, it WAS me ! Strange... even now I find things I hide from myself. Thanks my friend.
