The gnawing pain Hides in the background Eating away at my consciousness Making me live in the past I’ve tried to apply the Novocain To the intenseness of the pain I’m counseled to let go Let the pain become a minor part Of my past If it was only that easy To let go Forget my loss Forget the tragic story Go on living like it never happened How I wish my memories could be erased I am one of the walking wounded I go on day by day With a arm sling My hand Covering my heart Time heals all wounds they say I am impatient I want to embrace the one I love The one who’s hiding Holding onto the fear Of the deliverance that Forgiveness could bring Sometimes I wish I had never loved For then the pain would not be so great Indifference would be kinder For then I wouldn’t have to endure the wait Perhaps a relationship will never mend But my love will go beyond heaven’s gate [This message has been edited by Songbird (07-11-2006 07:15 PM).] |

Songbird you have captured the essence of what its is like to have a broken heart. trying to hold on to life in a depressed state. I am your best friend so I know of your heartache and I want to mend it so you can laugh again. Just let God mend it one second at a time. Do not fear you have a friend and I won't let anyone break your heart again. God is healing us through our friendship. |

"I’ve tried to apply the Novocain To the intenseness of the pain I’m counseled to let go Let the pain become a minor part Of my past If it was only that easy To let go Forget my loss Forget the tragic story Go on living like it never happened" My favorite part in the whole poem^^, it really speaks to me. I enjoyed how you talked about using Novocain to make the pain go away. It was rather interesting... I love this poem. So, beautiful yet so sad. I can relate to it right now because this is how I feel, pretty much all of it describes what I’m going through right now. I think you did an excellent job with this poem. I loved how you used the word “knawing” I don’t see that very much anymore. Although, I think it’s actually spelled “gnawing” if we are talking about the same word… Anyway, great job, I hope you will post more in the near future  @-->--- |

Thanks to you both for your comments and Stargal thank you for letting me know how to spell gnawing, I searched the dictionary and couldn't find the word and my spell checker wouldn't help me either. As for the subject matter, guess this just a part of life, the part that we could fix instantly, but in time most things resolve themselves. At least this is what I am hoping for, for you and me both. |
