As some of you may already know, recently Tara Simms and I broke off our romantic relationship. Since then, she has posted some beautiful poems describing the many feelings and emotions she has gone through in dealing with her heartbreak. Given how many poems her and I have posted about our love for each other, several people have asked me why I haven't posted anything since our break-up. The simple answer is that it hurts too much. I still love her deeply and still consider her my one true soulmate. Frankly, I refuse to "get over" her lol. I envy her the ability to just put her heart out there for the world to see. But this poem basically wrote itself and although my opinions about sharing my innermost feelings still remain the same, in a backwards sort of way, this poem was "fun" to write. The hurt and love still show through the words, but abusing rhyme never felt so good.  ) Enjoy and thanks for tolerating my long but necessary intro. - Jeff************ This exercise in futility leaves me drowning in humility and all my pent up hostility is eating me up inside Though I'm talking with civility I am doubting my ability to act with insensibility the feelings that I hide I've been put at a disability lost all respectability accused of inscrutability in telling the truth, I lied So when doubting my reliability question your laudability because despite my instability in loving you, I tried Enjoy your renewability I'll hope for remissibility and maybe one day, reparability for the love that was denied -------- (wink) - JEO 2000 |

Thanks James. You're right; I do have so many more words inside of me that I have yet to put on paper concerning my feelings for her. Writing about this is a painful process, but I'm getting there ) |

jeff, talking about this took courage and i do admire you. i don't know you or tara very well, but i have read some of the poems you speak of. i hope i am not overstepping boundaries when i say this but it is apparent to me, the love that you guys shared. i wish both of you nothing but the best and much love for the future. as for you, sometimes its harder for some people to openly share what they are feeling even when surrounded by friends. take your time and feel whatever you feel. that is the road to healing. take care and hugs to you. amy  |

The hardest part about loving someone is letting them go when you still care...and it hurts like crazy to see them being able to just go right on with their life when you seem to be standing still...or worse yet moving backwards...you need a shoulder or someone to listen...give me a shout |

Once, you wrote me sonnets (ok, so they weren't quite sonnets) and now you are "abusing rhyme" LOL, in either case, it's good to see you posting again. Thank you for the intro, you know my feelings for you haven't changed. I think that's what makes it so difficult. Keep writing, Jeff, you have a gift to share. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |

Amy, Thank you for your kind words and support; it's nice to know I am surrounded by people who care. You didn't overstep any boundaries with your observations. Although it makes it difficult to deal with sometimes, it is by far more of a comfort than a hurt to know that her and I still love each other deeply. Coco, I'm glad my words touched you, thanks for the praise. Paula, Thanks, I just might take you up on that shoulder you offered ). It doesn't hurt so much to know that she is going on with her life. She is a strong and independent woman and it's one of the things I love about her most. It only hurts when I realize that I am not a part of that life anymore. Tara, Next I am going to maim limericks (There once was a girl named Tara... lol) and then serenade you with really bad cheesy love songs. It's good to be writing again; thank you for reminding me that I still have a gift to share and a muse to inspire me. - luv, Jeff |
