I sit here painfully alone
knowing that you are in her bed.

All of me has fallen apart.

With deep breaths I try to
find the peace that hides.

I can't remember the last time


I had a tearless night
A quiet calm night


I dont know how to live
here in my unreal world.

I just want to hide away.

Life drags me thorugh another day
wearing fake smiles and happy words,

like a mask to cover whats real.


I didnt think Id be alone.
How do I do this alone?

Very poignant poem, and yes, you go on one minute at a time.  I have learned finally the difference between being lonely and alone, as you can be more alone in a relationship than on your own.  Well done, and welcome to Passions.

Words are weapons, toss them with care.

Thank you all for your replies!

I'm not really new here... I used to be rosepetals25 many years ago. Things got slightly confused with that acct when I tried to change my email and here I am with a new name.
