They say life delivers learning experiences
So now I have to learn from a mistake
I'm left here suffering
Finding out the feeling of heartache

I reacted without pausing to think
What an error on my part
Sealed up the hallway
That led you to my heart

I sit here in this pitch black room
With a carton of ice cream and a spoon
Totally blank and depressed
Eating out of nervousness I do best

I won't look in the mirror
To see my sad reflection looking back
Pain, shame and insecurity have taken over
I search for the emotions I lack

Bizarre as it may sound
I fight with you because I care
Couples that never fight exist
but in the same sense they are rare
Some lovers are only living through the motions
but as for love being in both of their hearts
Sometimes it just isn't there

Two people sometimes stay together
Simply because they dread to seek someone new
We pay a high price for conveinience and comfort
However, the love I had for you
And still have you for remains true.

I know you won't even cosider giving me a 2nd chance
I don't deserve one due to the circumstance
Not sure I even know how to live without you
I guess the happy times we had will see me through
I'll learn the hard way for letting go of you...

Oh RosePetal, this is so sad. Are you sure there's no second chance? Here, I'll pass you some of my wine through the computer and we'll sit and have a girlie chat.  

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Tracey that would be great right about now!
I am sure there is no second chance, I blew it.  I guess it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all...
Pour me another glass girlfriend!

RosePetal,
Your pain does come through so very clear. May your heart find its one true love soon and be on its way to healing.

Whoa!
This poem speaks a lot of truths.
Breaking up with the one you love
is extremely hard to do.
I'll take a sip from your glass!

As my borough has always stated- Do or Die.

*sigh* my heart goes out to you, dear one. I am so sorry for the pain and for your not having a second chance. I think I will join you girls in a glass of wine maybe we can drown our sorrows together and then let hope into our hearts for a new tomorrow.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
