Still Believing Years of Lost Love

40 years of lost love still losing...still believing in Terry Allen Seale...

Still Believing Years of Lost Love

 

I used to know what was right or wrong

I knew how to play it straight

Was it our words unspoken

Was it our hearts still broken

Or was it the drugs that determined fate

 

Letting go takes more than just tears

We never pledged, “Honor Bound”

I was determined to have “forever”

But our spirits wouldn’t fly together

Now our love is dirt on the ground

 

For such an unconditional love to fall

A love where I was many slaves

During sex obeyed your commands

Putting my trust solely in your hands

But alone we will go to our separate graves

 

All I ever wanted was what I had lost

How much more can a love take

Through the years I did nothing but try

Through the years you continued to lie

How will I ever mend from all the heartache

 

Even now when I gaze at you

I see right through to your soul

If only you understood when you’re gone

Like a melody trying without the song

Where my heart’s suppose to be is now a hole

 

Sometimes I get to laugh

Mostly I stay inside my head

Someday I’ll find someone new

Not that he’ll ever take the place of you

But a partner to finally share my bed

 

BUT I WILL NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN YOU…

Wonderfully expressed longing for your soul-mate. The one and only, other half of you.

Yes..that is the way it appears to be but I am not lost anymore and I hope to find love but it is not requirement, I prefer someone I can share things with and put my energy into who also loves to write! I am not alone..God is with me! he is the best man I ever had!

[VALORMORE DE PLUME]

God is the best friend. I'm glad you see it that way.

[LadyAnn68]

I was very discombobulated and completely distraught about love and its true meaning..and still I find that once I love it is usually forever. I do not just "fall in love" that easy, love is in a whole different category for me, unique in its dimensions and parameters. My father and God were the only 2 men that ever stuck it out with me! But on day I am sure Love will come form someone very special when I least expect it! LOL hahaha Good thing I don't expect much!

Things never "matter" until they do ...matter.
And then you find out they always did... matter - after all.

[LadyAnn68]

[Chris]

HA! Love is a fickle little thing, that's for sure... It's funny how we can love someone and think they are the one but then the crap hits the fan and we're like, say whaaaat!? And then we find someone who is good for us but we're not always happy and then I'm like, say whaaat!? Because I just can't make up my mind, LOL -- I am rambling. This is beautiful and I loved it! :-)

Love you my little Poetry Queen!

[LadyAnn68]

The saddest part is it is 45 years later and I am still saying, "Say Whaat?" lol hhaha

[s y e]

I don't think we ever stop........ :-/

[LadyAnn68]

Exactly....once I love that is it...there was never any other for me..He was my 'everything'....that turned into 'nothing'!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

What can I say, love is a mysterious thing, we can love someone who is bad for us and gives us more bad memories than good. I think cupid had sick sense of humor sometimes.

[LadyAnn68]

LOL..hahahahaha yo u are F U N N Y. That sure did make my day! Thank you!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you and you are welcome :))

[LadyAnn68]

Love sometimes seems to me like the forbidden fruit...the apple Eve ate or something like that...that which you can never have!

Love changes. Young love is different. We are led by different emotions. Today I need someone who is willing accept me and I to accept her. Real love is when two people spend 50 years together and survived good and bad times. A powerful poem. We will never forget our first love. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You honor me with your words....I thank you! But when I look deep into his eyes...I still cry!

[Coyote Poetry]

I still write poetry for the girl who broke my heart 37 years ago. Memories become less painful with time. Good to remember. Hard to forget.

[LadyAnn68]

Exactly! XXXOOO
