I Can Still....

I can still hear your voice
Cutting through the crowd
I can still hear your laughter
Echoing through the room
I can still feel your touch
In the cold lonely night
I can still feel your breath
As you whisper what I long to hear
I can still feel the warmth
Of your body next to mine
I can still feel my tears
As I long to say good bye

Tara - lemme get this straight - you can still feel all those things, and you are still gonna dump him???  This must be a poem about either Balladeer or Toerag, because they are definitely the most dumpable.  I like the repition you used in this poem, and the way you turned the tables at the end by becoming the dumper instead of the dumpee.

serenity - Thank you   I'm glad you stopped in.

LngJhnAg - Hmmm.. I re-read my poem with new eyes after I read your reply.. I didn't write that with that in mind.. but know I can understand.  I am not dumping anyone.. let me assure you  .  
Thank you for stopping in.

RP Im so glad Coco brought this back up ..
im sorry to have missed it before..I try to watch for yours...
we've outgrown the forums I think..
I cant seem to keep up ...
this is a sincere, tender, piece from you.
so much emotion expressed well in a few
well chosen lines.
its beauty is in its bittersweet melancoly
well done poet girlie  
take care

I read of a search for closure in this and I hope that if that is what you are seeking then you find it.  If I am mistaken then I guess with a little explanation from you I can read it again and retrain my overworked peanut of a brain.lol...tenderly written no matter what and you know I will be back to re-read both the poem and your response. Hugs my friend.

CocoBaci - Thank you for repling.  I have to say I was surprised when I checked my mail and saw a notice from passions...lol.  I'm glad you liked it.

Janet - Thank you. To know you keep a look out for my name is very flattering.  You haven't missed much recently.. here late I haven't been writing   But I am hoping that changes... Anyway..lol.. thank you for stopping in.  I'm glad you liked it.

Paula - Thank you also for your nice words  

Mark - Well.. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this.  I was thinking of a past relationship that I thought I had closure in.  I saw my ex that day.. and this is what came out.  I have no desire to be with him... I am very much in love with my soul mate.. even it this poem seems to be saying different..lol.    Did that help at all?  Thank you for stopping in
