as the darkness
turns to light
fears surface
no peace in sight
got a tear
in my eye
dont want
to cry
got pain
in my heart
that just
wont part
no matter
how hard i try
i keep asking
myself why?
i made
the best choice
so why
cant i rejoice
i've left
what was wrong
so why is my soul
still singing
such a sad song

MGroves, sometimes, I think we make right wrong choices and sometimes we make wrong right choices, if that makes any sense.  Either way, it usually brings growth of some kind in the end.  Enjoyed the flow of this, but feel the pain that flows with it....... ....jo

girlfriend, you gotta remember the song you were singing before...I would imagine that the song you sing now compared to that one is not nearly half as sad

yes, time, and coming to peace with one's decision.  Hugs to you.

you have to give up to go up..

doing the right thing usually involves some sort of sacrifice... choices are just that way

keep on expressing yourself... you have a lot of friends here

I know the answer...sometimes we make good choices with the wrong person...you have no control over their actions...James

Hey, I understand this feeling, have felt much the same way more than once in my life.
But I am happy to say that time and distance really are helpful healers. That and choosing a new hobby to immerse yourself in, one that is a small enough challenge to actually master without a huge fight, but big enough to keep you occupied through those dark days. LOL, ask me...I'll offer you my old list.

MGroves,
  It's good to read you again. Too bad choices are so hard to make!  No matter which choice is made, your heart goes into the decision.  I'm sure you've weighed both sides very carefully.  Thumbs up on your reflective writing.

It is hard.  But we must make the choices that will allow us to survive and perhaps have a chance at happiness, even if they are painful at the time.  And though it is easy to say, it truly is true, time will heal and distance will fortify--
