The moving van pulled up today
and I knew this time I would leave.
That orange truck unnerved me so
that only now I begin to grieve.

It’s been months since I left,
but I guess it’s finally true.
I was fine until the Uhaul came,
separating my life, from you.

We tried to make it work;
and worked to make it right.
Somewhere in the middle though,
you gave up the fight.

As sure as I am that this is the way
my life must travel on alone,
I wasn’t prepared to feel like this,
my heart heavy as a stone.

Moving on isn’t always easy
saying good bye is hard as hell.
Time may heal my heart some day
but then again, who can tell.

This is very moving...no pun intended. There was no moving van here, but this poem brought back those awful, awful feelings.

I hope that time has begun to help. This sounds like a country song that could likely be a hit.

WOW did this ever bring back memories, some of which I wished I could forget. I know the words you spoke are so true that when one gives up no matter how hard we try it will just not work. I wish you the best.
Love and light,
Richard

this raised so many conflicting emotions in me...regret and anticipation...sorrow and relief....you captured a poignant moment here! (got room for one more?)
