Array ( [sid] => 140602 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Handicap [time] => 2008-02-25 15:25:40 [hometext] => I kinda wish I was more like other people sometimes... Being able to say [bodytext] => I once saw a world of colors
Everything a bright and vibrant hue
But my colors faded to shades of grey
The day that I lost you.

The words used to flow so freely
There was nothing I couldn't say
But now the words escape me
Now that you've taken my heart away.

I used to feel so alive
Our future was looking good.
But then you went a different way
Than I ever thought you would.

My life used to be a poem
Everything, a childish rhyme
Because you were in love with me
But now you're not.

I know for a fact that the only person I really want to see this never will. It's been over a year, and I still couldn't possibly think any more of her. I told her I would love her forever, and unlike so many people in so many other relationships all over the world, I meant it. She went away and became convinced that it was my goal in life to control her and bend her to my will. The fact of the matter, which I couldn't convince her of to save my life, is that I only wanted to be with her and make sure she was happy and that no harm came to her. I'm sorry that wasn't good enough for you, Mary... I'm sorry that I wasn't good enough for you. I always knew you deserved better than me, and I hope with all the heart you carry on my behalf that you've found it, and that you're happy. I love you, as much as I ever have, and I miss you, hopefully as much as I ever will. The three and a half years I spent with you in heaven will linger in my mind forever, as I live the rest of my life apart from you...

Well, I guess there's nothing more to say... [comments] => 1 [counter] => 242 [topic] => 22 [informant] => sir_odd87 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

Your not alone. It's ironic how similar our situations are. Your poem hits a sensitive wound in my heart. Only great poets can evoke emotions to their readers. Nice job...and I hope one day your heart is able to heal...eventho I'm not sure they always 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. ©
