Today, I feel a piece of me gone.
I feel the tears rising that have been
too long suppressed, trying
to show the outside world, I can survive
needing no one.  But  there  it lies...
the truth is no matter how hard I try,
no matter what I tell myself,
I will always need and want
the comfort of another.

It isn't in me to be alone.
I am a "we" person, attached to always
and forever, each morning caressing myself
with the read of words, each night
blanketing myself in the darkness of dreams,
and now wondering what I have done
to deserve this life I am living.

I want no pity, I want to hold no shame.
I wanted to stay a minority, be one who made it
through the fairy tale ending, never
having to search for it again.

This is beautiful, I understand it completely.  It will come to you, you don't have to try or go looking.

You've never saved face, thank goodness and because of your honesty, openness and heartfelt loss, others have been able to relate, those who can't express their feelings, or are as talented as you in doing so.

That's giving in a way like no other.

It'll come back to you. Especially by making known to self and the universe, what it is you need/want. That is a beginning of having that prayer answered.

I love your poetry. The honesty in it is very touching.

Hugs,  Pat

thanks C

Well inkedgoddess, if making the choice to live happily in a 32 year marriage is a wrong choice then I made it...it was not I who made the choices, I just got stuck with them.

What I was trying to say was, I am a person who likes and needs people and hiding away is not working for me.
And that I did believe in forevers...mine lasted more than most and I will probably never see that again in my life.

I dislike that "moving on" terminology. Each of us moves forward at our own pace, some in a short time and others taking longer...there is no right time until it comes.
Thank you for your reading and comments.

I too have hidden myself from others at one time or another...even though I really am a "people person." Step as slowly as you need back into the light. You have a warm heart. Enjoyed this to-night. Chris

well, I can relate a bit, but I think I am fine being an alone person, most of the time anyhow
