Say Something

I sit here and ponder

Remembering someone is now gone

I find a smile up[on my face

And a heart that hurts

Memories flash through my mind

I hear a piano play

Sadness swells within

And somehow I feel warmer

I would have given anything

That, I know, still holds true

And those moments return to me

Happiness in silence

Alone once again

Unsure of who I become now

Where is it that I go from here

And when will I reach my destination

Understanding comes to me

The reason for disconnection

There would be no happy ending to this story

Only something bittersweet

More melancholy, actually

Tragedy is supposed to bring people closer

Yet one always remembers, me

And you, wish to forget

A shared experience

Emotions felt between us

Around and around I go

And I feel love's sting

I was a part of that place

To acknowledge me

Is to remember such tragedy

I feel this situation unfair to me

I wanted you to stay

But I knew I had to let you go

You were still finding yourself

So I gave you the push needed

I no longer wanted to be in that place either

But I saw that you needed freedom

I would find that by helping you

It would be my ruin

From the first moment you walked into my life

You started a chain reaction

I loved you, so I couldn't stop standing up for you

Perhaps that why this keeps coming back

Those times enter my dreams

When I awake, always are they there

No way I can ever forget you

I keep faith that I meant something to you as well

Feeling so helpless, hopeless

I continue down this path

Proud of the future you now have

As the piano plays on

Perhaps one day we'll meet again

I'll keep writing and will not stop

May you come across these messages

May someone who recognizes you pass on my words

I just want you to know what you meant to me

I need to know that there was a purpose served

I'm to lean not to my own understanding

So I follow where I am being led

And I do so willingly

Yet this feels like I'm being punished

No more of this, I need to know

When will my answers come

You were so important

Without you, I feel like nothing

We both showed our true selves to each other

We both came out to play

Say something, so I know that it all mattered

That I was not wrong to help someone in need

I feel as though I've been thrown away

And you simply went on to another life

What we had, so good, both hearts together

A spark, in a situation so bad

Heaven and Hell intertwined

Now it seems that I am trapped in purgatory

This was another great piece! Darn relationships, emotions and everything else,
that goes along are all great, until they are no longer! I can relate after a 15 marriage
going down the tubes. The last stanza is so creative, never would have
thought of things being that way, but after reading it, the similarities
are crazy! Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
