There was a ring in the garbage just this morning- That I wore upon my finger twenty years. There are stains on the cover of my pillow That I put there with a thousand bitter tears... There’s a hollow in my heart which I am doubting That I’ll ever fill, no matter what I try. And a question, of the answer, I’m uncertain... Which one of us decided on goodbye? Do we love? or did we ever? I mean, Really? Or were we swept along by circumstance? Is the heartache which we suffered so, together- A part of every couples true romance? Can two souls who are so very, very different- Ever find a common meeting ground? Or is a marriage like the world we dwell on? An institution which goes round and round? Am I angry? I don’t know. I guess, Yeah! Maybe? But still the bitter question does remain- Am I mad at you? or me? or just creation? And what to do about the rage and pain? Oh, we acted like we had it all together.... Were ready now to turn a brand new page... But how on earth can I just start all over? You know I’m nearly fifty years of age. Where to go? And how to make a living? Paying child support is hard to do. I guess that’s what we get for being stupid, And having kids when we were thirty two. I guess I’ll get the truck and just go driving- It helps me just to drive and think a spell. Where to go, and what to do from this point? I guess the answer, only time will tell. ------------------ Live large, people! ~GS~ http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |

A very sad one. Questions I've often asked in the past. Who ever knows the answers. Life and love can sure be tough. Another great poem, Gunslinger. Even the sad ones are a pleasure to read! ------------------ Denise |

Sometimes the answers find us before we ever find them |

Ah gees...I read this and it's like my father wrote it....(he's a member here too) This sounds like his story of late...My mother just walked away after 26 years, and left him standing with his jaw on the floor....so sad. I don't know what keeps people together sometimes...how it can drag on so long when both know there are so many problems, they'd need a whole other lifetime to correct them....*sigh This was absolutely beautiful, I can relate to your pain sir. Time does heal, and it will tell.... ------------------ ~~ Lift your head high - spread your "words" and fly - - poetFemmeFatale |

Differences of opinion is what makes this place wonderful. I disagree with pFF. I believe that if two..and I stress the two. Work hard at fixing then it doesn't take a lifetime to heal. GS.....I relate to your feelings Sir. Though I am younger, I am alone again as well. The answers find us as we heal. My thoughts are with you. |
