Sitting here
listening to meanings,
beyond words spoken
Wondering
how did I manage to miss
the pathway,
that led to happy ever after
Promises made
yet unfullfilled,
they linger somewhere in time
beyond this present season
We wait
for something, maybe nothing
as nothing here makes sense
And I find myself
on the outside,
scrambling for the key
I have yet to find...
You set the imprint of this moment in stone... Like a fossil imprinted in the limestone of lost time...
Was it a waste. Were no promises kept? Can any of us be true, really true to a contract made before the products are even brought to market? I don't know... There is such a thing as honor. There is such a thing a compassion and forgiveness. Yet... There are weak minds and failing hearts leaving better souls to suffer the avoidable conclusions.
A key you say? If only we could lock up the wandering hearts before the seal was broken.
The doorway of tomorrow needs no key and you can never lock out the past. One only hopes an ocean of love dilutes the pain.
Beautiful heartbreaking write.

Thank you for your most comforting and compassionate thoughts.
I liked the poem. Led the reader to honest ending. Looking for things that cannot be found. I like the tone of the thoughts in the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
