Tired I remember sitting in an empty and bare apartment Our apartment. Eating cardboard gas station pizza, exicted and in love. It was small, drafty windows... but we didnt notice all the problems. We only knew our love would grow and consume everything we knew. How things have changed,, The heat that consumed has now grown cold and while I'm here with these memories that haunt, you are rewriting yours with her I'm tired of wasting the tears that fall over you. I wonder if I will ever have peace again or if my heart will stop this numb ache that keeps me up at night instead of finding the protection of sleep. My head knows better... Knows time spent on you isn't worth it. One day my heart will catch up and learn. I will be able to remember without the surge of bitterness I will start up a new path and leave this one behind. -- Used to be rosepetals25  I never know what to say when I reply to a poem, so ignore the lameness![This message has been edited by rosepetals36 (09-14-2010 03:19 PM).] |

There are too many traps & cages in this world already, too many people willing to hurt the innocent, usually merely for money. One shouldn't do it to oneself as well. *chuckles* Even though I know this intellectually, I have been guilty of doing it at times, too. Best wishes to the author on finding somebody worthy of lifelong love and trust. |

Funny how love can make us oblivious to everything except its bitter end. Good write! ebm. |

A poignant poem full of sincere emotion. Very lyric. Perhaps, shorten the last stanza just a bit? |

A heartfelt, poignant write. You will indeed be able to remember the good times while the events that caused suffering will slowly fade away. After expressing consciously that you are tired of this situation, you can start right now ... draw the line and live in the now where every new day is an opportunity to LIVE and to LOVE. All the best, Margherita  |

Ty you all for stopping by Bastet: I was thinking that too when I put it up.. I fixed it to how I think it is better. Margherita: I keep thinking that I am getting better (we officially left each others lives in March.. he asked for a divorce in November) but then I see a picture of him or her... or I get a new peice of news. I know with time it will get better. I just wish I could fast forward lol -- Used to be rosepetals25 :) I never know what to say when I reply to a poem, so ignore the lameness! |

Don't you hate when your head shouts one thing and your heart puts it on mute? You wrote this well - the heart listens after it has healed. A |
