Heart hidden
in plain view
ignoring that
it belongs to you

Vision blurred
from tears I wouldn’t cry
feelings couldn’t be expressed
until my cheeks were dry

Pen searched for words
pieces of my soul
hoping to find some part of heart
that you gently stole

It wasn’t in the words wrote down
it was the words thrown away
it wasn’t in the poetry
it was what I didn’t say…..

Regrets SEA?
isn't that always the way...but you said enough in this write.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

The last four lines say it all...and what I would like to say is...look at how far you've come? With your imagery, your finding just the right photo to insert with your words, the total circle you've made from a reader to a writer...

I am so very proud of you!

The depth of emotion flows clearly through this beautiful phrasing Susan. A lovely piece indeed!

(big hugggssssss) Sooooooo very sad but beautiful, sweet friend, I think we all have timeslike this where our hearts bleed and we just can't express ourselves as we want to and we miss out on such beauty we want to express! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is outstanding! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

That is so true! in what we refuse to say out of pride ends up being our greatest regrets don't they? Even those things left unsaid that would shed the light of truth and allow a heart to heal...very well said SEA!

why is it always what we didn't (or don't) say that gets paid attention to??

Poets need not worry about running out of ink ... as they always have their tears to pen with and that always makes for good poetry. Much enjoyed.

Very beautifully and sincerely written. There are so many times that I wish I would have spoken up. But I guess we all live and learn. Wonderfully done.
