Time Past

Amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur

I perpetually miss and love,
Someone that isn't named above even though you know who you are
This person who is the light of my night as a the darkest burning star,
Yet I stand by and hold my ground
I watch time fly due to my stubbornness and fear of change,
I should attempt to work on my inner demons and take my time to rearrange
Rearrange my style of living and take on life,
Yet that would mean more headaches and some times strife
It would be worth it though and this time maybe it could last,
Unfortunately I know that you wouldn't take me back as our love was in the past.

This poem..
Seems like an overhauling..
Of one’s own love relationship….
And it is great and impressive…
In terms of uprightness..
I loved the authenticity of your write…
excellent

A person just has to do what's best for them and hopefully they really do know what's best for them, that's always the hard part.

i like it

"even though you know who you are"...I wonder if I even know who I am or what meaning life has for me sometimes...I could not know this person...I've never had anyone care that much for me...not lover or friend or child.

Reminiscing is always hard!
Nostalgia and memories can cut as a blad at times!

the message in this poem is full of emotions and of making yourself a better person, but don't change for any one change for yourself. The flow of the poem isn't smooth but the meaning in this poem has hurt and beauty to it.

Cant go back and re-birth a relationship without great luck and change. I went back to one woman three times. The three strike policy went into effect and we gave up. A very sad poem with memories and thinking about the possibility of a impossible re-inactment. A excellent poem.
