The Shores of Alone

Cut the cake of love and throw it on the floor
put your foot down harshly, stomp till it's no more.

Take a dream of happy, turn it inside out
crush a loving heart, until it fills with doubt.

Easily deny me after you seduce
empty hope you proffered, then you cut me loose.

Lover of another time and place is all
though I dream of future, you just let me fall.

Nightmare I deny, yet still it seeks to find
wrapped in pain and sorrow, darkness close behind.

Hon, I know the hurt and confusion you are feeling over this 'scoundrel'.  Please know and remember it's HIS loss, not yours......  *hugs of understanding*

Oh Cat , I loved the passion you had in this one.  You showed your anger yet still kept it peaceful.  Beautiful work here, I love it.

Wow, this is great. I know it's easy to say things like "he's not worth it" and "it's his loss" but those are just empty words when you can only feel your loss and worthlessness comparing to the one you adore even though he keeps hurting you... Anyway, I'm not gonna say stuff like that and it kinda narrows down my options...
Again, I really understand what you mean, and I know there's not much to advise in this case. Maybe someday the pain goes away, I still haven't gotten there.
Take Care.

Sandra,
*HuGS**HuGS**HuGS**HuGS*
as many as you need
till your soul is free again
and you stop your bleed

*smiles**smiles*smiles**smiles*
all of them them for you
stretching for a million miles
may they see you through

*tears**tears**tears**tears*
from my heart to yours
I'll cry with you, rest your fears
and my laugh outpours.

Be well
Kethry

Sandra...I read this poem and your other post "Impossibility"...this one shows the anger, the other one the hurt.  Both are excellent.  I can't begin to understand all the emotions you are feeling, but I will be there for you.   Hardrock

wow sandra that is a vivid scene...I can feel the anger and hurt...the smashing of the cake, smeared on the floor, heel grinding it into the floor...I can imagine you wish it was that person being smeared all over...when you pour it out like this you  release it...let it go...you will find better days ahead, you sure do deserve them...hey, you write damn good too, if I haven't said that. chin up girl, smile.

This is very intense, and powerful.  You have such an incredible ability to express your pain.  This is one of my favorites.

Cat -

This poem hits close to home, and the vivid imagery you create helps to define the things that are happening in my life.

This was a wonderfully done poem.  Hang in there, hon, cuz if you fall u'll hurt all the broken bodies that lay down in the abyss (me included) ;-)

Megs

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

-- Margaret Mitchell
