Array ( [sid] => 117833 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Shattered retrun [time] => 2006-04-06 14:44:16 [hometext] => I recently returned to Indonesia for a little while a place i spent a lot of my life...well no one i new before was still alive so it kinda hurt this is just a writing from that [bodytext] => It’s so hard to return to what was left behind so long ago
Everything is gone I wont to forget all I knew, how can I let this go
The place I promised I would return, the ones I promised I would see
Returning to nothing, returning to no one, promises that can never be
Walking through the broken remains of memories I held dear
I always knew this would happen; I just never could face my fear
Clouds hang low the sky dark with grief, crying with me is the rain
Kneeling by the shattered remains of my life, releasing all my bottled pain
I never should have listened to you, why did you tell me to run away
You knew this would happen, you should have told me they needed me to stay
Because you tried to protect me I will always be haunted by this dream
This dream that is so real, I can’t wake myself up, no mater how I scream
Where now do I go and where shall I stay I have nothing to call my own
Nothing left, nothing to have, forget love, family, and everything I have ever known

Shattered retrun

It’s so hard to return to what was left behind so long ago
Everything is gone I wont to forget all I knew, how can I let this go
The place I promised I would return, the ones I promised I would see
Returning to nothing, returning to no one, promises that can never be
Walking through the broken remains of memories I held dear
I always knew this would happen; I just never could face my fear
Clouds hang low the sky dark with grief, crying with me is the rain
Kneeling by the shattered remains of my life, releasing all my bottled pain
I never should have listened to you, why did you tell me to run away
You knew this would happen, you should have told me they needed me to stay
Because you tried to protect me I will always be haunted by this dream
This dream that is so real, I can’t wake myself up, no mater how I scream
Where now do I go and where shall I stay I have nothing to call my own
Nothing left, nothing to have, forget love, family, and everything I have ever known

this is haunting, so very sad. The grieving process is an ongoing emotional wave, made worse by our own guilty feelings and the feeling of being utterly alone in this world. I feel your pain and I understand it, believe me I do.

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. ©
