The sky is so blue today
Clouds are scattered along the way
I replay slowly in my mind
The events that I rewind

Hard to imagine me here alone
Talking to you on the phone
What led us to this place?
Can the past be retraced?

I look back trying to see
Where it got away from me
When did it start to fall apart?
Why did you break my heart?

I wish I knew the cause
Of why my life is paused
I feel the hurt and pain
Of a love that was slain

It permeates through my soul
On my body it takes a toll
Fatigue finally settles in
Then my head no longer spins




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

it must truly hurt as you have poetically penned these feelings one may go through when that love is no longer ours..tis sad..nicely done lone wolf.

my love is my inspiration
perception of this poem
is your interpretation"

Oh, my friend -
the fact that it's on pause
is to give you time to reflect on
which way you're going.
Keep writing and sharing.

Your reflection here is so painful and remorseful...feelings that take talent to portray well...Well done, Lone Wolf!

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
