I awoke to find your note
On the pillow where you'd slept
I was totally unaware
Of all the secrets you had kept

Someone new had claimed your heart
Now my love became passe
Words had all but failed me
As I struggled for something to say

You took my love for granted
Pretending that you cared
How dare you hurt my feelings
After all the times we shared

The color in my life has faded
My guiding light has now dimmed
How could I have been so blind
Not to know that you had sinned

The tears run down my face
Like watercolors in the rain
How cowardly you were
To not bear witness to my pain

You have broken my heart
My blue skies have turned grey
Things will never be the same
Since the day you went away

Very sad. But beautifully written

(big hugggssssss) Yes, I agree exactly with what Tanya said, you are much more deserving and better than that, and you deserve to be treated with the most loving and trusting love and I know you will find it if you haven't already! (kiss on cheek) This is sad but heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sue - I stand in amazement as to how well you have touched the powerful feeling of relationships in your poetry.  While reading I feel like your poem provides me a direct connection to the emotion experienced by the lovers in the relaionships - thanks for such a powerful empathy - Paul

this is sad but beautifully written.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Oh Sue, I am so sorry this happened to you. I don't know why they do this to us.

How dare someone do this to you. I am so, so sorry. You are a wonderful, loving person and the person who left is the loser, not you.

'...The tears run down my face
Like watercolors in the rain...'

These words brought tears to my face. Hugs my friend, Marti
