Topic: anguished

It was so many years ago
I walked out that front door.
I know it caused your tears to flow
Like so many times before.

And when that door had quietly shut
I knew I was not coming back.
The pain I’d caused had deeply cut
Because of the courage I lacked.

I think about you every day
And still see your beautiful face.
When I close my eyes and quietly pray
Thoughts of you time can’t ever erase.

I sometimes wonder if you still cry
Or am I not at all on your mind?
Each day I feel like I could die
I have missed you all of this time.

I’m so very sorry you’re all alone
But I knew I could no longer stay.
It’s been so hard not to telephone
Because I’ve ached for you every day.

There are demons I must overcome
And they still have a stronghold on me.
I tell myself I’m awfully dumb
For not fighting to have victory.

But maybe the day will finally arrive
When my trials are all in the past.
And I will no longer have to strive
I will have won my battle at last.

Yet how will I ever really rejoice
When I finally count what it cost?
And clearly see what was my choice
The one I loved most is now lost.

Very nice!
You convey the message very clearly

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
