I'll Reach For You from Where Time Cannot Go.

"I'll reach for you

from where time cannot go."

I say to myself, sobbing.

Head bobbing, side to side.

But I know I am human

 all too well.

And time will tell

you and I goodbye.

Though we loved 

and though we tried.

My eyes will grow old

and the tears will fall

from the creases in between

my wrinkled visage.

Author's Note

The first sentence was something I thought to myself after my first major break-up at 18.

Words of sad resolve. You have definitely written something that can be deeply felt.
Yet, somehow, I feel a small sense of comfort, like listening to a blues song. It makes me sad, but I don't feel so alone while the music is playing. That must be the reason I've read this poem so many times tonight. Well done, dear poet.

[Diana]

Thank you, I'm glad you felt it was worth re-reading.

[Zan]

I really like this one :) It's really simple but it really makes you think. The first line is great!

[Diana]

Thank you, Zan.

You were a very wise woman at 18. There are those we mourn through time...those we remember no matter how long we have been separated from them. Very well written, Diana. Lydi**

[Diana]

Thank you, Lydi. Yes, the words have applied to different situation throughout the years...

[Pryde Foltz]

Such wisdom from one so young.

[Diana]

I probably look younger than I am. Thank you, Pryde.

[Pryde Foltz]

Your very welcome Diana:)

This is a masterpiece, Diana. The emotion and sadness just overwhelms me more and more with every word. I love the title, I love the concept, and I love the range of emotions your poem brings me through - A mix of sadness, comfort, and acceptance.

Your writing always "humbles" me in a way. I can't really describe it but it's like your words tell me it's okay to feel the way I'm feeling. Thank you for always sharing!

[Diana]

Thank you for your kind review, Michael.

I love the title and the concept. Sometimes it's just not enough.

My eyes will grow old
and the tears will fall
from the creases in between
my wrinkled visage.

[Diana]

Thank you, icelandic blue. Very true. (It rhymes, too.)

[Dr. Wood ?]

Diana, this poem on this day broke my heart. I am just kind of in that state and your words and the sadness in them pushed me over the edge. Very well written...it was definitely felt.

[Diana]

Thank you so much, Jack. I certainly didn't intend to push you over the edge...
