The common photo I stare at faces The girl is sad and the boy is smiling Some former date to betray the place of That sudden meeting It’s all behind I keep this moment, my priceless treasure You won’t recall it I won’t forget it It’s just your work, it’s someone’s pleasure The hell for me The chance rejected Perhaps my dream is the kind of fiction My fallen star And I’m getting older And all I’ve got now is that your picture With me Forever behind your shoulder 06/2013 |

Love and how it affects us and how it wounds us is stuff poets write about. You, my friend, fall in line with those of us who have taken this same road with you. I have gotten lucky. In my old age I have found happiness, and I hope the same for you. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Real "Love" shouldn't sting, yet it does make for wonderful poetry. I know from where you speak, it is of a sweet and wounded heart. ![]() |

Thank you, EmmaRose! I don't think that love stings. Actually it heals. But you feel really terrible when you misunderstand what is happening. |
