Bitter Tears

Bitter Tears

The pain inside eats away slowly,

Devouring every thought, every emotion,

Leaving emptiness, bitterness, loneliness,

Held locked inside is the loss of love.

You told me you loved me but only as a friend,

Yet we shared so much more,

How can I come home to find that our hearts, feelings, intimacies were wrong?

That you’ve known for a while I was to be no more.

Now the loneliness in my soul creeps along cold isolated corridors,

Rattling around every jagged nerve,

Penetrating and haunting my thoughts,

Ripping and pulling me in all directions.

Somewhere I reach out from the bars of isolation,

Longing for those feelings we shared,

Only to see and feel nothingness,

While cast aside in bitter tears….

Bitterness is a bad place to be & you've shown that here with a vivid portrayal of this person seemingly crushed by unfulfilled expectations. As a free spirit, I've had many people put their expectations on me, blaming me when I warned them I was not in it for the same reasons. So I'm not very sympathetic to your message, but I can attest that many people see things this way & you've nailed the message accurately. We each must own our bitterness, as it relates to our choices in life (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you.. Yeah I don't know what it is I look for but when I find love I mess it up... I wish I could go back and repair the damage that cause me to hurt...

I am a complete bomb when it comes to relationships, so don't feel like the lone ranger! *sigh!*
