For All Eternity

Never thought you'd wish
For things passed
Carrying around that
Painting
memories hovering
Thought she'd be stuck
Forever
"Stupid boy
You can't fense that in"
Always hoping later
Down the way she'd
Still hold onto those chains
Instead she promised herself
To another
Lost
In thought
Wallowing
In your lonesome
Blame bleeding through your heart
Heavy with doubt
Of all the things
You brought on yourself
Her slipping
Through your fingers
Would be the worst
So hold those flowers
With deepest apologies
Those of which she's already forgiven
It won't matter
As lace will adorn her hair
The day she vows
Before everyone
And god
That she'll love him
For all eternity

LOL see this is a slam piece too. You put him more in his place than he could have ever imagined. I really like your poetry it is right in your face with truth leading the way. Strong write of telling it how it is, no fantasies of getting back in for him. Nicely written!

It is too late for the flowers................excellent piece

[WynterPhoenix]

The last few lines ties it all together. My favorite lines are "So hold those flowers, with deepest apologies." It's very sad yet bautifully poetic. Great write!
