'there is a space in the heart that cannot be filled'

i took the title from charles bukowski

when you have everything,
you could ask for,
until someone comes,
and makes you feel, otherwise,
you feel half-empty, without
him, do you go on feeling
emptier without him,
do you go on with life,
wondering if he was the answer,
you can't make him stay
so you might as well feel
just half as full in your own way,
not knowing the difference

I really enjoyed this poem and I think it nicely showed the emotions of what it's like for someone to be there and then not be there and moving on. Nice poem.

if he is gone, then he was not the answer...the answer will come along soon, and that half empty glass will become half full, and then all the way full...

don't care for bukowski...but like this poem...

but don't you think sometimes, people who we let go, could have been the answer, and it's our fault we let them go?

i think we have all done it...and i really don't have regrets...life probably turned out a better different...i never rue choices...even if i think about what if's sometimes...

there really is nothing we can do about our choices except learn from it, we have to move on and keep making decisions, like it or not
