How unreasonable is it
to feel nostalgia for something
I never wanted,
and still don't?
How absurd it is
to walk down memory lane and watch the path grow far more appealing
than it ever was in reality?
How depressing is it
to see that someone did so much better
without you?

You have captured My feelings with words that I could never express...Deeply touching and very well written. My vote!

You GO Girl!!!    I have asked myself the same question.  Is it that they do so much better or is it that we havent really tried YET?  Hmmmmm such an open question it is.  
Great Poem BTW

Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had
Ahhhhhh you gave me light

Oh yes! How good you are at capturing these feelings in your work! If only we could understand the absurdities of our mind! And indeed how depressing it is to see that someone did better without us, especially when that someone is someone we loved! Great, great piece!

Cat...maybe he's doing better without you..maybe he isn't.  He surely wouldn't tell you if he wasn't.  Besides..your lives took different roads.  You are probably better off without him.  Nice read. Hardrock

I love to read your stuff. I hope to learn from your writings.
Great job.

Sigh... very well expressed. It's funny how some things, no matter how unreasonable, don't stop being true because of that!

Hard to say who's better off...  the mind seems to come up with the most confusing, depressing, and absurd sentiments sometimes.

He is just doing better with his life,,,but not because your not there. Its how things turned out, and thats it. But this was a wonderful expression of those feelings and the second-guesses we all have. Great Job!!!

Yes hon it wasn't meant to be!!  None of what you ask is wrong, in fact, it's so well expressed!!    It's funny if you look at it clinically where those sort of thoughts can lead, I know, I've wandered there a few times myself too!!  Great work hon  

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....
