From Year To Year


To stay in such a loveless marriage
Is the worst thing I could have done
Still I hung onto dreams I had
That we’d once again become one

The days turned slowly into months
Then, those months turned into years
From year to year it only got worse
And, each day I cried too many tears

My hopes for things to get better
Were all a waste of time you see
I finally had to face the facts
The way things were ~ would always be

The days are long and lonely now
The nights are even longer still
And, those nightmares I sometimes have
Without a doubt I know aren’t real

Sweet and beautiful Sue, the pain is still so vivid in your expressions. A profoundly poignant write.
May love enter your life anew and make the past fade away.
Love and hugs.
Margherita

Poignantly written, from the heart.
Sue, may the next year bring some peace of mind and perhaps, a new companion who will appreciate you.
Hoping the physical healing also goes well?

Sometimes we  wait and hope for the best but eventually know when it's time to move on.

Dear Sue, that is such a sad poem, well written, but tells a sorry tale that I'm

afraid happens to so many people these days. I really feel for you my dear and I

sincerely hope that you will meet someone in the not to distant future that will make your light shine again. Good luck, love.

Oklahoma Rose - moving on is at times the best move to make. A time of sorrow will follow, then it will become better...

It is such a long and lonely road to walk down.  Been there done that,
but I came out of it on the other side and it's a pretty nice place to be.  

Best to you, Ms. Rose~

ESHA SEN GUPTA, I am so sorry you are having to go through all of this. I do hope you find a way out.

Margherita, once in a while something happens to bring those memories back again. I would love to have a new love to come into my life.

Midnightsun, thank you for your kind reply and well wishes. I am feeling better, today. Just not as good as I want to.

Maureen, that is very true.

LindsayP, yes, I am afraid that is true. I am so ready for that special someone to come.

Bill, that is true. As you know, I did pick up the pieces and move on. Now, I am waiting for that something better.

Blues Serenade, for the most part, yes it is a pretty nice place to be.

When I read your poetry about the marriage you were in, I see and feel your strength.  It is what first made me take notice of you when I came to PiP.  You have a lot of courage to leave and make a life for yourself.  

You are quite a woman!

Love,
Alison

I think Bill is right on target. Sometimes we just have to start over in one way or another. I think dwelling on the past keeps us from moving foward.
