The time has come
after all is said and done
to let go of our past
yet, how can it be
this ache inside me
is bittersweet in taste...

As distance in between the beat
of two hearts that vowed a sacred pledge
now find the struggle of letting go
an overwhelm of turmoil...

I know now more than ever
things will never be the same
as my heart is thawing slowly
from the numbness of the pain
all the while believing in the good of you
regardless of the ache I feel...

I must have loved you
once upon a time
to feel this way today...

In twilight sleep of clustered dreams
whispered prayers to heaven I shall send
for strength of spirit to guide me
toward new beginnings of tomorrow
wherein lies no conflict
of you within this world...

Embrace this verse
as a meant to be
release me from
your controlling wing
allow the butterfly
in me
to soar beyond
the remembering...

Just this once
I ask of you
show me that you truly do
love me in your own way
and unshackle me
from the memory
of once upon a yesterday...

Dearest Coco ... what a wonderful, sad, compelling piece.  I love it and hate the pain I know you feel, but ifyou can write this wonderful piece I know you are OK and will get even better my poetfriend.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

*sigh* love needs to be free to soar the heavens and grow the way it is meant to be. I am sorry this was about yesterday and not the feelings of love flowing in your heart today...but you let go with such tenderness that I know the love leaves a strong impression still upon your heart. ***big hugs*** My heart goes  out to you.

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

Once upon a yesterday...Why is it so hard to move on from that thought? This is beautiful and sad, and I understand the feeling.

This is very good.  And familiar to me too much.  "I must have loved you once" is the most familiar, I think.  Probably to also too many others.  A very good write all around, well said.

We each have our own personal way of letting go of love and moving on...and yet we all feel the same exact feelings of sadness and grief and disappointment as we go through the process...James

JamesSweetie, very true what you say2me in reply though I must say the following 2expand on what you've so kindly said2me here...
Indeed we all love and show our love in our own ways thaz a part of the thrill that we're blessed with in our living days that makes it all the more exhilarating I guess...
However when another thinx they can have the best of both worlds and still expect the other2 not sway their love 4them, well as certain as the amber sun does rise at every dawn with that kinda thinking may come conflict and eventually heartache so it seems...
I'm probably rambling on here but you've nailed the point that I've tried2pen in this poem 2the 'T' my friend and it's odd but when one does put closure to something it usually takes the other offguard so then I ask myself how can that be when all the signsNwriting were there clearly written on the wall and their choices made are the actions that say what it is they really want (or is it) teehee...
You're da best JamesNhugs2uAlways...

you always make me think. . . well done. . .
