I feel the change around us It's happening quickly It's happening more each day I'm drifting away Your smile once lit up my world Your laughter was music to my ear One could hang on every word you say Now though, I'm drifting away I stare at you detached Wondering if what I once felt was real Will it be ok... If I just drifted away? I gather my things to go And leave the past behind There's no point, why stay? Let me just drift away. You're no longer the one I knew You just aren't the same I know you don't want me here So I'll just drift away. |

Welcome to Passions, where you'll inevitably bump into more drifters. I enjoyed the imagery in your first post, and look forward to reading more. |

Wow, very powerful emotions here. You have expressed these feelings well. But nothing ever changes in life unless you try. No one ever succeeded by walking away. I hope you find the path to happiness. Welcome to Passions, J.K. All writing comes |

A sad but beautiful poem, J.K., I wish you happiness always. Drifting away is the simplest thing to do, I suppose, but it seems as though happiness never comes easily, we have to fight for it and work hard to keep it. |

A big hug to welcome you here and a kind comment on your powerful poem of emotions. It is sad that these emotions need to be expressed, but it is part of life and I hope the healing is quick if it was more than muse speaking here. Well done i hope to view more of your work soon! Aloha with warmest regards, Koko |

J.K. Welcome to passions. Don't drift...fight with every ounce of your being and in fighting write for the path to hope is littered with the poems of those who have struggled through...and survive. Good write. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

This was an excellently crafted poem... Remember that to feel emotions.. whether they be love or fear or loss.. is better than never to feel at all. Welcome to Passions Pepper |

God, this is so utterly sad! Maybe she really does want you she's just feeling inadequate in some way and it hurts to be reminded if something went all fuzzy! This really moved me. Ask her!!!!!!!! Kathleen--(Kay) |

Welcome to the family. Sometimes it's better to just go isn't it? But it doesn't make it hurt any less...I loved this. I hope to read more from you.  |
