Home Again Always on the outside Ever looking in I traveled back to you but can't go home again So I said goodbye And drove on in the rain Though the sun was shining The teardrops were my name In my rearview mirror I see your image still And with it this great heartache I thought that time would kill But time has only increased the sorrow that I feel for in the year that's passed the wound has never healed My left hand still feels empty without your golden band It grips the steering wheel A silent reprimand Decisions not thought through Made in angered haste We signed a piece of paper That laid our life to waste We relinquished sacred vows too stubborn to compromise Yet we never lost the love It's still aching in our eyes Now neither will admit that we've made a mistake In our separate houses we lie in bed awake And here I am,outside Ever looking in I traveled back to you but can't go home again © caroline 1999 ------------------ It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

Very sad Caroline. Too many people are outside looking in. ------------------ Lorene Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me, it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday! |

Very true that you cannot go back and rebuild the past, but accepting it seem just as hard. Glad I am to have you back my friend. ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Caroline - A hug sent your way. Your poem is lovely, even though the topic is sad. Love shouldn't hurt like this. And I may disagree with some others when I say ... reclaiming the past is not as difficult as continuing on with a wrong decision. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Caroline, They say confessions cleanse the heart. But now you know that's the easy part. Beautiful poem. |
