          Deep within my heart I knew this
               moment had to be...
          Love is sometimes possible, but
               not this time, for me...
          Time and Distance played their
                    hand,
          and all the dice were tossed...
          Winners>>Keepers, Losers>>Weepers
               Now I pay the cost...


          Does anybody know how much a
               damaged heart will bring?
          It's not completely broke in
                    two...
          The crack's a little thing...
          He only took a piece of it,
          The rest of it is mine...
          Winners>>Keepers, Losers>>Weepers
                It will heal in time...


          Now I wonder where I go to mend
               my aching soul?
          The word 'goodbye' with it's sharp
                    edge...
          Has left a jagged hole...
          Maybe someday someone new will
               put a Bandaid there...
          Winners>>Keepers, Losers>>Weepers
                  Treat my soul
                    with care...


          Of all my broken parts, he treated
               this one so unkind...
          He left me with an aching head to
               house my aching mind...
          If you could help me find a way
               to rock my mind to sleep...
          Winners>>Keepers, Losers>>Weepers
                   Tender words
                    you'll reap...


          So this is what I offer, all my
                pieces, all or part...
          And maybe someday someone else
                will help me mend my
                      heart...
          I guess I'm too romantic, could it
                be that I'm just blind?
          Winners>>Keepers, Losers>>Weepers
                One true love,
                       Next time....

Today is a gift....

That is beautiful.  I love the part about the heart not being totally tore in two.  Because it is ture you are left with the most part.  Great poem.

Great Job
Keep it Up

Hi Randi....

           Thank you for stopping by to read this!  I liked that part, too, because usually a broken love leaves you with enough heart to re-generate itself and start over!!

Hi Sunny,
Very telling, very nice, as you always do. The softness in your heart shows, as you write with the caring that you have.

Within a torn and broken heart
there lies this poetic seed
A release in verse is just the start
for what your heart may need

Lovely poem there girl...it all just makes us stronger in the end with new knowledge but there are soooo damn many lessons to be learned.

I'd say keep trying because it is just a question of whether you are the winner or loser. I think you are the winner because it would be worse to be stuck in a relationship that fell to pieces after a committment. The real winner will be both of you when you finally find each other ....and you will!!

Great writing!!
