The Shores of Alone

What hold is it he has on me
is it the simple joys lack of  
that's in my current lifes bequest
or is it more; remembered love.

It seems he has my memories
so strange to think someone else does
is that what makes it feel so good
to talk about the time that was?

Can life be fun like that again?
(how quickly the hurt fades away)
I hold fast to the good times thus
and wonder will there be more days.

Beautiful write Sandra!
You ask questions to which I do not have the answers.
The hurt fades but the memories last forever.

I could feel the missing in this, Sandra.  And the happiness of the memories.  You captured both well.

Dear Sandra, much enjoyed this read and the passion that you add to each line.

Inspired again.

The memories that our joys do hold
Can fill our hearts or leave them cold

The gift we shared that was once love
Was granted till its end did shove

I hold to you by visions of my mind that ever come
Once you were my passion and my life beneath the sun

But now I talk with words benign and memories of the past
Sorry and quite often sad, those times just didn’t last

But days begin with new delights to take our hearts away
Old lover, tend my memories, and help me through this day

Enjoyed the words.

Sincerely Rick
