Array ( [sid] => 28826 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Realization [time] => 2003-12-07 18:35:54 [hometext] => Realizing the end and not liking it [bodytext] => It’s funny the way life works
How nothing ends up the way you want
You have to go with life’s little quirks
No matter the pain it does flaunt

I hate life more than can be imagined
Why can’t it ever be what I desire?
Maybe because I’m so frightened
To ruin myself, I seem to conspire

At least in this way
I’ll never be disappointed
For if I cause my own dismay
I can’t be too cruelly wounded

How could I do that to him?
How could I not see?
I must truly be dim
To have judged that badly

I knew he deserved more from the start
I can’t believe I even tried
I could have as easily stomped my own heart
And avoided how much I’ve cried

Why do I hold him in such high esteem?
Is he really so much better than me?
Him wanting me is a dream
For him, why must I feel so deeply?

Why could I not see past my own heart
Enough to see his was on the edge too?
Maybe I’ve never been that smart
Why can’t he see that I never knew?

Going over and over this is futility
His heart and mind I can’t change
The facts I must face grimly
He is now out of my range

I’ll never expect you to accept me again
I wish I had realized the truth
Before the absolute ruin
I’m just not that good a sleuth

I wish I had known
That your heart traveled this avenue
Maybe I wouldn’t have felt so alone
And all this, I wouldn’t have gone through

No matter what pain I’ve felt
I know you’re not to blame
No matter what it was my heart spelled
You were never mine to claim

I'll continue with life for the sake of my kids
For them I’ll now live
My heart now forbids
Hope, to ever relive!

I hope that one day he knows
Just how much he means to me
Yes, my chance I did blow
But only because I see myself so cheaply

Mike, I told you before
Long before we were this close
You deserve so much more
Definitely more than us psychos [comments] => 6 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 22 [informant] => ToriVeigh [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

You've lost your best friend
I've lost mine too.
Too bad we can't turn back time
to miss the pain we've been through.

We must go on from here
and learn form the past.
Some day we'll both get it right
to find a love that will last.

It was too hard to juggle
coworkers, lovers and friends.
I'll see you at work
Where it began and it ends.

I can feel the devastation and loss..my heart and prayers go out to you .
This is an excellent look into deep pain.
Take it easy on yourself though,the kids need their mummy(mommy?) strong *smiles*
