Road To Hell

9-16-10

I twist and turn within our bed,
I used to be able to sleep like the dead
Now I barely can graze an hour or two,
It's all because of us, no wait, ME and YOU
We lay next to each other yet so far apart,
Drifting farther even as we still share the same heart
A timeless love that I can't let go,
Good intentions I thought yet little did I know
Sadness and want would flush back over me,
This living hell is something that is on my face plain to see
I did what I thought was the right thing to do,
Amazing that I've been doing that for years....isn't that true??
There is a saying that I constantly mention;
The road to hell is paved with shattered trust, broken hearts and good intentions.

sometimes loving someones is like torture. Even if life is rough and the time together isn't what it use to be that person you still love. doesn't make it easy but time will work all things out. I the last line of this poem sums up everything you have said in the previous lines.

"The road to hell is paved with shattered trust, broken hearts and good intentions."
This is one of my favorite lines of all times. I have heard it often in my life in some form. A powerful poem. Thank you.

[Jas Alejandrino Ramos]

good poem...it has a touch of experience and burning emotions combined together

[Fabian G. Franklin]

It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But I believe love requires us to place another's happiness before our own. That can breed resentment in a relationship and often open hostility...particularly if one partner feels especially unappreciated or underappreciated. A relationship takes constant care and nurturing to survive, and a good many do not survive because one partner or the other is not willing to put forth the effort and work that requires. But I hope this is just your poetic imagination and nothing personal in your own life. In any case, I wish you always only the best.

it also gives us road rash. *sigh*
