The wind blew softly thru my hair On the day my whole life changed You insulted me and left me there Alone with the Autumn Breeze I stared at my reflection upon the lake so calm And wondered excactly what I had done To hurt you so, even though I knew, I had done nothing wrong My only fault was loving you And trusting you were sincere When you uttered the words "I love you dear" But, in truth, you didn't care A whispering conscience chides me now About events I cannot change Lost kisses, missed hugs, and other things For which you think me quite deranged So don't think of me out here alone Lingering in and out of time Wanting and needing someone near Making a memory yours and mine I'll sigh deeply and repose myself Stand up and cry to the sky above-- "Lead me now, ye gods on high, Into my fate unclear, my trust dissapeared this Autumn Day or perhaps 'twas kissed goodbye." Jamie, 2000 -->To all the world and especially those emotional souls who have given their all to a relationship and been broken by that someone they loved, I dedicate this poem.  "...at night I cling to you I'm so afraid; afraid the day will come and I'll wake up and find you gone. But you promise that you'd not abandon me and kissed my fears away but I woke up to that day..." 'Waking up Beside You' by Stabbing Westward |

Lovely poem, Jamie. Don't give up on love, though. Whenever you give yourself to a relashionship, you have to go in expecting the worst, but hoping for the best, 'cause it's rare to find that perfect one. The only way to find it is to totally open yourself up to the possibility of being hurt--you have to take that risk. Then, only will you be able to find that perfect one. ~Gene |

LOL Gene...I was always hoping for the best and getting the worst...now I know what I did wrong  A very nice poem Wikket. I especially liked: I'll sigh deeply and repose myself Stand up and cry to the sky above-- "Lead me now, ye gods on high, Into my fate unclear, my trust dissapeared this Autumn Day or perhaps 'twas kissed goodbye."

No relationship is perfect but hopefully soon you'll find someone who won't insult you. Nobody deserves that. Sad yet wonderful poem! Denise |

It seems Kaile is pulling up some very nice stuff today. I am a believer in taking the risk of getting hurt in order to find what you dream of in a relationship, but have to admit it can be scary sometimes. I, too, like the last stanza. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Whoa! Haven't seen this one in a while! I was wondering if I traveled back in time! Kaile: Thank you for pulling this up and for your comment. This was a very traumatic time in my life, and all I can say is, I've recovered. I now have a wonderful fiance and relationship, and have proven time can heal. Thanks Again! kcsgrandma: Thank you for your comments! I'm glad you're a risk-taker when it comes to love! It seems, that's the only way you can be! ~~Jamie   "Who does not love the Titanic? ...We all go: only a few, first-class." --David R. Slavitt, 1983 |

Trust is such a valuable thing between two people. And many times when trust is broken, it doesn't return. This was a nice poem. I hope you are able to reagain your trust in someone. |

We all lose our innocence sometime. It often hurts, but it is the cold hard fact. "My soul lives in love, walks with serenity, and dies in violence." --ALG |

Oh my..this reminds me of a poem that I wrote recently..it is uncanny how our thoughts were so similar yet, we were unaware of each others' progress.. this is so good..you have captured the pain of betrayal by a lover so very well. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
