I wander through this empty house Touching old memories the pain still fresh I dont know why you echo here You've never been in this old house At least not in the physical sense But you spent countless hours here in my heart Now I want to start on the journey to forget I know there is a path out of this pain I know it wont always be this sharp But right now your face is all I see And your voice still sings to my heart Its not that I think you'll come back I'm not sure I'd say yes if you did I'm just trying to set my feet on this journey This journey that leads to forget And maybe one day your memory Will only bring smiles not tears And maybe one night I wont whisper your name As I let pain slowly fade into sleep And maybe there will come a new love A love that wont fade with the dawn But for now all I see is a long road for me To heal my heart with a journey to forget. |

Great poem as always. You describe such misery yet with a drip of hope. Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |

I'm on the same journey...I wish you luck and more happiness in the future.  Very well written...With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

Paula-I understand when you say "You echo here", very powerful and sensitive statement. I loved your words. |
