Sometimes I just sit here
Lost in thoughts of you
Remembering the words you told me
Trying to forget they were true

I understood you were leaving
I heard you say good bye
But you left me with an unanswered question
~Why?~

And damn it, I still love you
In the ocean of my tears
And my heart still breaks for you
Even after all these years

You were my every want
Every wish I’d ever make
Now in the darkness
You are my only ache

~SEA~

with all that you are...
with all that you know...
love......

*sigh* I think the unanswered questions are the ones that hurt the very most...My heart goes out to you...the pain never really leaves us no matter how many years go by something always brings it to the surface again....**big hugs**

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

The pain flows from your words.
When will you forgive him and forgive yourself?
It is ended.
But your beautiful poetry is just a beginning

so painful when others grow at different rates, or should I say grow out of seeing us as pleasurable to stay with. liked this

You were my every want
Every wish I’d ever make
Now in the darkness
You are my only ache

SEA,
This is simply amazing. I am fascinated at the words you have brought together for this poem. There is everything in here to remind me of a past that has been remarkably as you describe. My past. I thank you for writing what I have never been able to. Cheers.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

This is so painfully beautiful, Sue...the only thing you forgot was the tissues.
I need them because the beautiful sadness of your poem has got me sniffling real hard.

I felt the pain keenly and I loved the poem.
