I LET MYSELF…
By Trekkergirl

I let myself feel
but for only moments at a time
        as if only in small doses could I
        be cured of this illness.

I let myself believe
that our passions
        which were ignited by a simple touch
        of my hand quickly turning into
        a raging gale of needs and burning desire
        was right.

I let myself believe
that these feelings I was feeling
        were evidence of two hearts destined
to be together.

        That the love notes
        we secretly exchanged
        showed our intense love for one another.

        That the tearful regrets for a
        misspoken word and the longings
        to be together were how we would  
        be spending our lives together.

I let myself believe
        in an unending love.

        But now in that wonderfully
        deep baritone voice of yours
        you speak words that I do not wish to hear.

You say that you have lost yourself
And that I must let you go.

So now here I lie alone
        in the bed we once shared together
        stunned.

        desperately trying not to remember
        our times spent together here.

You say you are lost…
But what of me…
What am I without you.

trekkergirl, this is a very emotional write my friend, thoughts and feelings of similar hearts as you, man and woman. To be with who we are is a choice made each day, I think the honest move on often, the ones living on hope will look on tomorrow as being better and leading to pure happiness, many do not want to hurt their partners, they go on the same way for a life time and live with much regret. He has moved on as you also will, life is full of different cross roads and change.  
You are who you have always been, but now much stronger and more prepared.

Have a wonderful day.

Thanks for all those who replied to my poem I LET MYSELF.  I love to write emotional poems.  Though to be honest this one has nothing to do with me.  It's just a poem I was playing with and I liked so when I came across this the other day I decided hey maybe someone would like this.

I have been printed several times in fanzines but they have always been in one subject only so I decided to try and branch out to other people to see if someone else might like what I have written.

It is nice to see people out there do like my writings.

I'll be printing more soon.  

Once again thanks for all the kind words. I'm not real sure how to thank each person personally so I decided to do it this way.

Thanks again

Trekkergirl

thanks marge.  I do feel very welcomed here.  Such nice thinks have been said about my poem and several others that I have read in the last few days.

So much excellent writing going on here.

And you will be seeing more of my poems printed here.  I am enjoying myself really.

I am an emotional writer who likes to write about sad things.  Separation, loss, loneliness, death, sometimes I'll sneak in a happy ending, sometimes I leave it hanging for the reader to decide, sometimes I leave a sad ending cuz you can't have happiness unless there is a little sadness in your life.  Know what I mean?

Anyone else out there like to read that type of poem?
