The days are winding down
On my face I wear a frown
Thinking of way back when
Just how long it's been
Since we first met
Never would have bet
We would end up here
After almost fifteen years

Finally husband and wife
Sharing each other's life
Until we drifted apart
Each looking for a new start
Although I tried my best
I have failed this test
No more hurt for me
I will finally be free

This time will be mine
Maybe I will shine
When I am on my own
And the fear has flown
Once I have settled in
Away from your evil grin
My spirit will soar
Tears will no longer pour


Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats

very well written .. tears are a cleansing to our hearts. So often tears share how we really feel though we don't want to show it.
It's always strange though how when you cry you feel better. Kinda like rain falling how once it's stopped the sun starts shining as if it were a brand new day.

I wish you the best and piece of mind when you settle in my friend, sounds like you need some time, but soon the sun will be out   lol , good job.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Allo Wolfe, hugz to you for sharing this one with us tonight.

I must say each verse of expression brought a tear upon my cheek yet somehow I get a smile cus I know as you put it so... "Spirit will soar and tears will no longer pour".  This ending represents a beginning to another work of art from you for all of us to enjoy reading!

Wow! Powerful stuff here my friend, and much of it familiar to me. Take some time to fly, you'll be amazed at the view.



God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

Wolfie, simplistic, but beautiful, driving home a hard point.  Though I know this time period was not the best for you, especially the past year, I also know that you have overcome the difficulties, and will soon be your own woman once again.  For that, I salute you.
