The sky is so blue today Clouds are scattered along the way I replay slowly in my mind The events that I rewind Hard to imagine me here alone Talking to you on the phone What led us to this place? Can the past be retraced? I look back trying to see Where it got away from me When did it start to fall apart? Why did you break my heart? I wish I knew the cause Of why my life is paused I feel the hurt and pain Of a love that was slain It permeates through my soul On my body it takes a toll Fatigue finally settles in Then my head no longer spins Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Nicely penned, but in your eyes your sorrow showed. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

LoneWolf~ 'I wish I knew the cause Of why my life is paused' Oh, my friend - the fact that it's on pause is to give you time to reflect on which way you're going. Keep writing and sharing. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Your reflection here is so painful and remorseful...feelings that take talent to portray well...Well done, Lone Wolf! Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |
