Paying The Price

The night
is deep
in its darkness.
The firelight shines
just as brightly as it did,
when you were here.
Yet, nothing is the same,
and never will be again.
I roll and toss,
giving up,
I punch the pillow
and fight back
the angry, lonely tears.
I swear I live with
the ghost of you.
I really should
pack away those images
of you,
of us,
of then.
How could I
have not seen
the obvious?
I was blinded with
the love of you.
And I thought
you would be
the one to
change my fear,
my mistrust
and my sadness.
I get up, pull on my robe
and light a cigarette.
I pace and fuss with
small bits and pieces of you.
Pieces I thought made whole,
by the two of us being together.
And I wonder,
where are you at this
very moment?
I hear your voice
in the sighing of
the wind,
and it is abrasive
on this already torn heart.
A storm of rage
overtakes me,
I throw your framed face
against the stones
of the fireplace
we once loved
and it shatters
just like my heart.
And I sob silently,
the pain to great
to make sound.
And I feel as if
I'll never be whole
again.
I love you, I hate you!
How can I forgive
when I believed
in you so much?
How could you
have done this
to me?
I thought you
were the strong one,
the one who could
resist the temptation
of another.
But I was wrong.
And now, I am the one....
Paying the price
of long nights spent alone.

| I enjoy this style. You had some great lines. Though the spacing hurt. It must of been a long relationship. Perhaps that is the point. |

| Well, I really liked this piece....and I figured the way you set it up....was to make it feel long. Long suffering your enduring. Times will get better....I know that sucks hearing it. But it is so very true. Sorry, you're dealing with this pain. You are expressing it well in your write. Thank you for sharing. I wish you peace, Laura |
