Still

 

Still

 

I still love someone

Through the years have aged

I wouldn't have changed

Maybe to disappear

I still miss someone-

I would give most anything -

To feel good again

I still know seconds matter-

I would never forget

And say I know it’s infinite…

I still would be there

I would have told you-

You are my best friend

I still believe in time-

I would wait

on my heart to mend

I still see a silhouette-

I would keep my heart

And smell your scent…

I still think it’s too late-

I would have lived

A heaven and a hell

I still could tell you a story-

How we met again,

Our second chance from above

And I would have endured

Most anything though I still know-

“I'm better off”, I would say…

“I don't want to live like this”

Time and time again…

But for this day-

I would give anything

To say the words I never said

“Stop, come back, Turn around.”

“This isn’t really what I want.”.

“Wait, Don’t go.”

I still love someone
Oh God, Here it comes again

I’ll take the time alone to mend-

I would tell you

If you can hear me now

I hear if they truly love-

Love returns, but I’m still alone

I told you, “Go, be the better man.”

“I can’t give you want you need.

I’m too weak, too tired, let me go.”

You say to me in a plea,

 “Tell me you don’t love me.”

I turned my back in love…

“I can’t, I’d rather live alone.”

I still miss someone-

Oh God, Here come the tears again.

I’m fearful, what is to become of me?

I still love someone

Not long ago, tis the sentence true.

And when my words end,

Will you remember?

You said, “I miss you, I love you.”

“I’m coming back.”

And I never heard again.

It's like a pull and a tug in a back and forth relationship but on your side of the story. You don't want to be alone but you're stuck on this one person who is playing around with you. In the end you give them another chance and then they step all over it. It feels as if they told you they were coming back because they were too weak on their part to man up and make things end. I like your writes there is always more too them than meets the eye! Keep Writing!

Oh gosh how sad this was. Loved it though, it was real and truthful.

Glad I got to read it.

This is poingant, except sometimes I get confused about who's speaking. It seems like it ends with the lover talking but I thought he just had. Is there any way to make it a little clearer?

Good job, though, you capture loss and sorrow.

This is such an intimate, tender write. I understand these emotions, these feelings of longing to go back, try things a different way, in the hope that somehow, some way, the ending would be different, too. Very nice write.

We all dwell sometimes on those things that might have been. I think you've drawn the emotions of all of us who've been down that road at some time or another. Hauntingly beautiful.

[Jillian Alexis]

This, my friend, is hauntingly beautiful! I was intrigued by it from beginning to end. I really like the way you express yourself Judy. You are a very talented Lady! Thank you for sharing this with us all...Hugz...Jillian

Love, my dear IS timeless...

PAIN is still. But not forever. HUGS!!!!!! This sounds much like my poem PRUDENCE. You've done it much more eloquently.
