Sometimes

Sometimes I’m perfectly fine.
The sun couldn’t shine any brighter.
The laughter couldn’t be more real.
I can smile with honesty and truth.
I can laugh with the ease I used to have.
I enjoy the fact I’m alive.
I accept the fact that I’m happy.

Then.

Sometimes I’m in so many pieces.
The darkness hangs heavy over my heart.
The tears fall like a never ending rain.
The absence in my soul is so painfully clear.
And I wish I could stop and hide.
I wish I could just disappear.

Then.

Sometimes the good overrides the bad.
And I think things are the way the should be.
But I always find myself going back.
Looking for where you are… for your face.
Listening for your soothing whisper.
Just wanting to run to the comfort of you.

I'm sure most people can relate to these ups and downs, I know I can. Very well expressed!

Denise -  Thank you for stopping in. I think everyone can relate to this at one time or another. The good news is that there is someone else in my life now   This was just a reflection of sorts I suppose. I'm glad you liked it.

you covered the many emotions of the heart RP
in a sincere,longing lovely way.
well done poetess petal  

tis never easy being a moth,
tis not easy being the flame.
what some never see is--
sometimes ... most times ...
they are one in the same.

RosePetals~
Such a lovely written piece of your heart.
Nice to know that we have memories in store ~
But brighter to know that 'other' arms reach out to hold you.
