The Jokes On Me

Perhaps I shall end
These poems of mine
Place myself away
I think it is time

Tear up the pages
Vanish without trace
Leaving me blank
I have no place

Heart notebooks
Paper shreds easily
Hoping time heals
Aches within me

Cast into silence
Unworthy and low
I will empty tears
In depths below

Emotions liquify
Tears form a pool
Myself to blame
For being a fool

Read heart text
Each simple plea
All my devotion
You fail to see

Ending the hope
I leave no excuse
The jokes on me
Whats the use

If only it were as simple as tearing up the pages...enjoyed very much, Hope.

letting go is a more difficult task
Thanks for your kind reply

Hello Hope ... its been awhile and I pray such words of you never shred. Though acknowledging the pain is good, it is wrong to feel the blame. The pages of you read so much more ... they are filled with understanding.    
Blessings always.

well now, here I am trying to assure HOPE that there's always tomorrow. grinning, (forgive me, I've got this thing for irony)

I could relate to this, and yes, I do HOPE to be reading more from you!
