My Darkest Hour


would it be
easier for you
if I hated you
I can not
and anger was something
that had a hold of me
filling me
so nothing else
could enter
so anger had to go too
the only thing left
would be forgiveness
and I do not possess
the will of angels
so I can not forgive
there are some things
beyond my forgiveness
some hurts
never heal
I do not
love you anymore
and I do not want
to be your friend
you know why
I don’t need
to remind you
there are things
that are
bigger than me
and that I now know
do not flatter yourself
with the thoughts
that you can flatter me
yet, there was a time
and there was a time
you had no problem
living a life
without me
when I was there
it is just now
I have learned
how to live
so please
I beg you
leave me alone
so I can
live

Knowing your work, I know the importance of this being four times as long as your usual poem.....and this:

I have learned
how to live
so please
I beg you
leave me alone
so I can
live

.....says things about closed doors, and doors that are closed but perhaps not latched....

Helen,
At times like those one needs a friend...


The Advantage of a Broken Heart

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Helen, this is so familiar to me....from my own personal past.

Sometimes, someone doesn't want what they have, until they've lost it. I guess it hurts their pride to know they have lost.

He didn't want me or need me in the way I wanted, apparently...but he didn't want me to move on in my life with someone else.

My deceased husband would be exactly this way now about me and my Honey-Love if he were still around.

What a powerful write! A plea of this strength must be heard by the intended recipient.

Oh, the power!

You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL
