The Words He Spoke
~ By Sue ~

I remember when he touched my heart
with the gentle touch of his hand
he stirred emotions deep inside
I didn't know was even there
Everyday was such a joy
because I knew he cared

Who would have even guessed
there would have come a time
when we would have to part
after all we had been through
and the relationship we fought for
would finally come to an end

The tears slid down my cheeks
as I had prepared to leave
and seeing all the things I loved
that I couldn't take with me, just
made the pain I felt inside
even harder for me to bear

Now, I sit here all alone
wondering what had taken place
to change the the words he once spoke
of always wanting us to be
together until the end of time
which sounded like an eternity

Sue, you certainly know how to put those feelings down on paper. Gosh, I couldn't help but get pulled into your world ~ and have memories stirred up of when that was my world as well. I know in my heart that you have better times ahead for you emotionally ~ and financially.

I want the best for you! ~ and you deserve it! You've been to hell and back and you have worked hard to stand on your own two feet.

Big Hug
Linda

How did you do this? This delicate poem about the parting is just beautifully sad and... perfectly expressed.  The closing is sublimely sad.  I feel things not felt by me before.

thank you for sharing this.
