Just Past 8:33 AM
By Richard Maxfield


Pacing the floor
Telephone in hand
No sleep, no rest at all.
I’ve looked everywhere
I have left no stone unturned.
There is no one I have not called
I do not understand what is wrong.
I am going crazy clean out of my mind.
My head is spinning my stomach is in knots.
It is just past 8:33 AM and she is still not at home

Quiet House
by Richard Maxfield


The house is quiet
Not a sound
Memories haunt
Thought abound

No sound of
Children at play
Darkness of night
Broken by day

Lonely shadows
Dance on the walls
Inside each room
Down the halls

Wafting scents
Float through the air
Hopeless feelings
Of despair

Ghost of yesterday
Freely roam
Inside this once
So happy home

Haunting echoes
Of nothing said
Thoughtless selfishness
Of love now dead

Screaming pain
Of words that kill
Depressing emotions
Are all I feel

Aching loneliness
Invades this place
Love and happiness
Not a trace

No more laughter
No love to share
Truths of love
Are not fair

Sun rises and falls
With curtains drawn
Victim of love
Another life’s pawn

I Still Cry
By Richard Maxfield

In screaming pain
For no gain
My heart sinks abyss

For the one
My love has done
You’re the love I miss

Lonely days
Silence plays
Forever in my mind

Dreams of when
You were my friend
What a lovely find

Love has gone
I am alone
In dark deep despair

No one sees
What’s inside of me
When no one really cares

Our family broke
Words you spoke
Lies or so it seams

Our future plans
No longer stand
Like a fleeting dream

Time pass by
I still cry
My love is for you

I want to give
A need to live
Love was not through


WHAT WENT WRONG SHE DID NOT SAY
by Richard Maxfield
3-10-98

What went wrong she did not say
she took my love and went away
she said when I look in your eyes I still see
the same wonderful man that was for me
I took her for my wife
I gave her all I gave my life
she said don’t beet your self up its not you fault
my love for you came to a halt
nothing I did she said was wrong
to kill the love, we shared for so long
for twenty two years we loved and lived
for only each other our self we did give
I thought forever it would last
a love like this could never have passed
to two children we gave life
me and my lover, me and my wife
what went wrong, she did not say
she took my love and went away
she told me I do not love him, he don’t love me
I just like his company, can’t you see
my heart cries out and is broken
by the cheats and the unspoken
dreams of tomorrow can never be
because of the day she stopped loving me
every thing I have I would give
the dreams of tomorrow, if I could live
what went wrong she did not say
she took my love and went away

Richard~ Maybe, just maybe someday you will be able to be grateful that she left.......because she clearly wasn't the right one.....and the right one is still out there waiting for you to find her..........I know, sounds like a load of crap when your heart is broken......but it's true......have faith..... -SEA
