Those Words


Why is it, I feel so empty inside
Why can't I feel that emotion, I once gave
Was the damage so deep that
I am unable to feel today

Will I ever feel a love so true
As I once felt in the past
Or, will I aways be too afraid
That it would never last

I still hear those words
He always said to me
Piercing my tender heart
They never leave me be

Am I really as worthless as
He had left me feeling
Or, will I ever find someone
Who will truely care about me

Oh how I wish this heart of mine
Would really and truly mend
So that I would be able to feel
Such a wonderful love, again

OhSweetSuzie~
Our hearts often play the song we want to hear again, even though there is remembered pain in the playing~

I believe that the strong woman you have shown yourself to be will overcome ANY obstacles in your path ... that includes being able to open up and let a new love in when the time is right~

And it will be 'right' someday ... Honest Injun !

So good to have you back writing with us Sue...
I have found that longing is the final stage of healing...when the senses, mind and body all move with the spirit.

Doors open in the wake of that call.

No, of course not, but that is the way he wanted you to feel.  

This poem is one of the most clearly stated descriptions of the very human act of clinging to pain in order to retain some hold on some part of the past (in reading this, you may choose the part of either the pot or the kettle, and I will assume the other.  *grin*  

Thank you for sharing this painful awareness.

You are definitely not worthless.  Scars...that's all....and some are hard to heal.  You just keep loving....love will find its way back to you.  *hugs*....jo

May your heart mend quickly, dear Sue.

You have chosen intense words that touch the reader.

Never should we allow anyone to make us feel unworthy. May you be aware of the fact of being whole and beautiful, in every moment.

Love and hugs.

Sue my friend...I'm not sure the heart ever really mends but you can sure love again, it just seems to be a different kind of love then

maybe it comes with age and hard knocks but that's the way I see it

good write!

No, dear poet friend, you are a precious gift in this universe.  The universe knows you and knows just how precious you are...keep your mind focused on attracting a divine relationship...one which provides you with the love and joy you so greatly deserve.  Tell yourself everyday that you are a divine creature and deserve what you desire.  It (he) will manifest.  I know this.

You are precious and (as if you could not tell) your poem truly touched me.

Love,
Patricia

He wasn't worthy of you.  You are now free of him, ready to be your own person first, and then, and only then, will you be ready to be part of a relationship, but don't ever let anyone treat you like that again.  Hope that tomorrow is a better day for you.

Hugs

Sue...It's been awhile, but the hurt and bad memories are always there haunting us, you just have to be the strong person that got thru everything once before and hold your head high, you are a great person...Paul

that's the greatest fear of all, Sue...

Ah, sweet Sue..
You will feel that kind of love again.
Love your new picture!!

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.
