Denial

Alas we didn’t meet, and now the scene has passed

Destiny must run true

Though I wish it wasn’t you

The years have stole your best girl

Something I used to see has faded

Your nights have stayed dark

Eyes entombed in sadness

I hear the men in white talk to you now

Touched me for a time

Tried to recall a date

Saw your face to late

If I could change the scene

I’d have you in my dream

Take you from your pain

Let you start again

I used to know this girl, called

What the hell

I didn’t know her well

Seems she went insane today

I turned the page

Seemed the only way.

'Denial'
Paul Bell,
This is the face of the stories we all carry. Times and people come and go and sometimes we must 'let go.' This was a good portrayal of what is repeated around us in those we have known. It is hard, hurtful and sad for them for us.
Blessings,
Kathy

I think we all do it at times. Deny the past by blotting it out.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

That is what is required sometimes. Thanks for your great writing.

Maybe destiny knew too much......

[Paul Bell]

Yeah you sort of know the ones who wont make it.
They seem to get the rawest of deals.

How sad. I feel the anguish and torment in this. You write very well indeed. Very deep.

[Paul Bell]

Thanks Pete.

Sadly we need to share our lives and our time with those who are sane. Others have no one to share with but their own desperate thoughts. Valentine

Beautifully expressed.
At times we have no other choice but to turn the page.

So true Shabeth

[Marina]

Ouch.
Like how it unfolds like a short story, but the story itself sounds rough.

[Paul Bell]

Yeah i suppose it's not a good ending.
