The Familiar End Familiar cries to the water that falls from overhead Same feeling just new night watching the steady rain I sit face to face with the glass edged in wood before me Oh, that slow ride down my window drives me insane... Sometimes when I think I can get beyond loving you Your memories come as quickly as the wind And, I try to hold myself against nature's force Oh, how many times must I die to live again... It doesn't matter where I am or what road I may take Your laughter still haunts the nights that's forever gone And, just when I thought I had healed this heart of mine I realized your face was here all along... The familiar end to my nights are always a tear filled pillow And, my familiar end to my morning is mostly the same I just can't breathe without you here in my dreams But, I'm not to proud to walk down beggars lane... Our beginning was my end but I just can't let you go I'm caught between your being gone and your memories left behind For I have pain when I see you and pain when I don't It's like running through gravel without shoes it hurts every time... Through it all I have learned you're just in this heart to stay That eternity is "our" familiar end If I must run many miles to meet you just to watch you leave Then why not let me rest in your arms awhile, My Friend... Sauni Sauni :) |

"If I must run many miles to meet you just to watch you leave Then why not let me rest in your arms awhile, My Friend . . ." Well put, heartbreaking lines in a sad poem. |

Actually bittersweet, and I enjoyed this one as so many can relate to your words, where the memories of a love keep the pain balanced. ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |

It doesn't matter where I am or what road I may take Your laughter still haunts the nights that's forever gone And, just when I thought I had healed this heart of mine I realized your face was here all along... Our beginning was my end but I just can't let you go I'm caught between your being gone and your memories left behind For I have pain when I see you and pain when I don't Saunni, I hear ya. I can so relate to this. Lovely writing Maree |
