We Can Start Again

You left, when I wanted you the most

when, you were my only hope

when, you were the one I counted upon

when, you were the only person I wanted to hold on

I don't blame things on you

because I was at fault too

our fate led to incidents

our destiny brought us back

Whatever happened, happened for a reason

to push us from past to present

I agree, we are completely insane

but, perhaps! we can start again

Shattered souls, bleeding eyes

pangs of pain, heart that aches

alone we have had suffice

Let's get back and love all over again

Together its bliss!

you know I am right

you are the only addiction I have

your love is my pride

Let's start afresh

right from the first time we met

discovering the other side of the coin once more

falling for each other all the more..

I can connect with this poem on many levels. One being that I too often write about such circumstance. I love personal poems and poetry such as this can't be anything but personal. Thanks for sharing.

[TL Boehm]

Very lyrical. This would make a great love song.

[SteveB]

The first stanza is particularly well structured. Nicely done.
Overall the piece conveys your emotions in simple clear language that details both the pain and hope of love.
Thanks for sharing this.

A nice little sorrowful plea to a lost love from someone who values working at it because of deep feelings for another.

[Mark]

a new start can be so joyful, but will the things that were dark then be dark still? Good write :)

[Baby Ricochet]

I used to think things happen for a reason. Now I think s**t just happens and there's no rhyme and reason for anything. Deployments will do that to you

You are the only addiction I have...doesn't love feel like an addiction some times? Beautiful line. I like the structure of this poem. It flows well and showcases your voice. Good job.

[Dana Alsamsam]

i really enjoy your structure in the first stanza and your use of the word "when." it almost gave it a jagged rhythm that lent itself well to the material. you could definitely play off of that rhythm and structure more in other places.

going back to someone you once loved can be the hardest and easiest decision in the world even if heartbreak is an inevitable ending. this was a lovely account of romance weaved with a small string of lingering pain. great job!

relaionships are never easy...but starting over after a turmoil before start must be twice as hard second time around I'd think...very good write

[Zelle]

thank u so very much for your kind words! :)

[quinfinn]

once bitten, twice shy...you can never go home anymore...a love revisited is rarely ever a love rekindled. ego and pride always seem to foil the best intentions in all relationships. excellent write, full of hopeful naivety.
