Other women couldn’t help your healing.
A lock on your heart drove them away,
There was only one that tried to stay.

You decided to keep your paths divided.
You’re intentions, while good, were misguided,
The guilt you feel keeps your heart locked away,
Do you know, if still alive, what she would say?

She’d tell you to keep moving,
To never stop loving.
Then she’d give you her usual lovely smile,
And say to think about her once in a while.

She’d tell you to love the women that tried to stay,
The one who laughed when at restaurants you’d forgot to pay.
The women who helped you through your pain,
When for her there was nothing to gain.

So find in your heart a seedling of love,
The one you miss will smile, and watch it grow, up from above.

The Past and the Present

Her loss of life was your loss of meaning,
Other women couldn’t help your healing.
A lock on your heart drove them away,
There was only one that tried to stay.

You decided to keep your paths divided.
You’re intentions, while good, were misguided,
The guilt you feel keeps your heart locked away,
Do you know, if still alive, what she would say?

She’d tell you to keep moving,
To never stop loving.
Then she’d give you her usual lovely smile,
And say to think about her once in a while.

She’d tell you to love the women that tried to stay,
The one who laughed when at restaurants you’d forgot to pay.
The women who helped you through your pain,
When for her there was nothing to gain.

So find in your heart a seedling of love,
The one you miss will smile, and watch it grow, up from above.

Yes, if one truly loves another then surely happiness is what they would forever wish for they ~ Upon the other hand although, 'Soulmates,' whom or what could ever tear them apart ? Nothing that I know of but more important to be said in regards unto your bright heart's loving poem ~ Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven ? Very lovely painting....

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©
