The day that you left me
I felt so empty inside
It ended on a Wednesday
And that’s the day I died

My heart cries out for you
And I will never forget….
A picture of what could’ve been
Provides a lifetime of regret

I look back now and suffer
My screams are silent, like yours
Lost in a world of loneliness
I cry behind closed doors

There is no chance I will forget
You are permanent in my memory
There are so many reminders
…in all the faces that I see…

I am so angry at my decision
I could have done it if I tried
I believed there was no choice
I believed in my own lie

It only took five minutes
Painless, so they say
It just so happened that they lied
Because the pain won’t go away.

Hey, I believe my world died on a Wednesday, also.  And we were writing about it at the same time..
Interesting, parallel lives or something?
Excellent poem, sure conveys the emotion.

There are many choices that can be made..and while I think mine may have been a little different, the loss is there, and you die a little more each day.

Great expression, lady.. this touched me deeply.

Sometimes a poem says so much more than the words first lend themselves to. This is one such, leading off with a fairly complex, yet vague idea and building pain and regret from that. These poems are the ones where I am almost loathe to say well done, because it hurts so much that "good job" seems trite.

"my screams are silent, like yours..."

I admire the courage of this piece--and I don't offer any advice, either. But I could relate...and while I make no choices for anyone else--I, too, realized too late that it was the wrong decision for ME. Sorry for the dialogue here, but I'm still angry.
No one told me I would grieve. Either way, you live with your decision for the rest of your life. The choice IS ours.

If this was from personal experience, I do offer you the company of HUGS.  PEACE.

Never painless and it seems to never go away...good poem you wrote it ver well good luck ~Angie

could have,
might have,
and should have.
