Change

who knows why.

                         Change                   

 

How did we get here?

To this place of broken dreams,

How did we become those people,

Like ships passing in the night?

I have no defence or explanation ,

To quiet the demanding voices clamouring for answers.

 

You look at me and it is so strange,

How your glance skates over me,

You smile, but your sadness is too great,

You laugh but it sounds forced.

Is it so easy then to lose something,

That takes forever to find?

 

The ache in my heart is like an open wound,

The pain leaves me gasping for breath,

That I am not sure I really want to come,

Fiery kisses that once fired my blood ,

Now seem cold and undeserved.

And promises whispered on willing ears now float away unheeded.

 

I am smiling because my pride won't let me falter,

And you are trying to force answers,

That dare not come,

I am broken as surely as if thrown from the tallest tower,

And you are going to be just fine ,

Because your dreams changed to not include me anymore .

Vidva, been there, done that. It was, and is, unbelievable when the person you have loved for years suddenly becomes a stranger to you. I realize I was different after my car wreck and resulting coma, but my ex believed I would never change; that how I was right at that moment was how I'd be forever. I was trying to act normal with 1/2 my brain tied behind my back. The hospital offered her counseling, so she might have understood a little better, but she wouldn't hear of it. If she thought SHE didn't understand what I was going through, how did she think I felt?

Oh Mikey I am so sorry.People say "in good times and bad" and they really don't mean it.As soon as their loyalty is tested they run for the hills.You are one cool stick figure and I am honoured to call you my friend.Beers are so on me bring your funnel dude .Let's get it started :)

[Michael Stevens]

Thank you; I'm sorry to be a whiner dick; do you think the funnel will fit in my walker? If you do, I'm so there; you live in that one house, right?

[Vidya Bacchus]

You need to get a thingy of some sort for your walker and funnel lol.Yes I do live in that one house.You know the one :)

[Shirlena]

Are they ever worth it really (kidding) so many really are not, a few are but you have to just about file through them like you would searching for buried treasure or be patient and on your toes for Mr. Right to come along and then you best run an inspection-smile. More and more of us or poppin up crazy too but I like the way the pain and disappointment are described... raw and candid.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Shirlena hunny :)

[Saddam]

You look at me and it is so strange,
How your glance skates over me,
You smile, but your sadness is too great,
You laugh but it sounds forced.

Very nice and great poem. Lovely poetry.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Ssadd :)

[Frieda P]

Heavy sigh...this one has many layers of truth, to the depths of love's waning promises. Poignant read Vidya, I'm sure so many can relate.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you chica .Too true :)

[Madalyn Beck]

You did a spectacular job with this. The pain when someone decides to change their lives and remove you from it - there are no words, yet you have managed to create this which describes it flawlessly. Great job! xo :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Madalyn :)

Wow my friend you speak a depth of sad tone here, I love it now , but I gather it and take it within. When something is special you endure it least us true heart felt people do, Through all the broken and shame , through all the death of plea, Through a garden unknown where flowers and trees. Before the roots of never end I call you , I call you friend:) Some do change, I stood on the wall for years looking at ones called there self friend. No1 remain true, phone never rang , door never to be knocked upon, But the great thing is I have friend from afar:) and they all shine bright as a star. People wouldn't be where they are if not for the friends and love:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

The ones have no heart yes but 1s whom have heart endure forever my friend I said atleast the 1s have heart, now if they walked away they had no heart think about it deep. Your welcome Vidya, Take you for example how you come by wish all a good morning and good day:) How you are sweet in every gesture, now does that come back void my dear sweet friend. Ahhh how about 1s give you a rating of 100 when other don't, ever think why?

I believe many of us can relate to this poem and to how people can change in the blink of an eye. You have expressed this so well in your own unique style. Beautifully penned my friend.

You capture the pain of the broken heart very well when one lover's path veers away from what was expected by the other. Well done. Touching and Emotive.
