My faults have been my own
some form of penance
that has found itself
in my drifting heart.
I’m tired, tired of it,
tired of the hope I once had
having been pushed aside
for nothing more than a sound.
I understand the slight version
of hopes we all have
that follow us through life
and restore us occasionally.
I understand that we must fail
at least once or more
in how we love
or how we want to be loved.
My failure came from the fact
that my heart once lost
amongst rivers of failures
that I had put upon myself.
These failures turned to dust
my love for my self,
my dreams I had thought gone
only to find them buried.
My failure is my own,
in this, I am to cry,
which in time will go
and find myself stronger.
So what version of me am I
to find that I can still love
with everything I have
and more than I have known.
Simple.
I have been given that chance,
of which I shall not fail
nor will I allow myself to run.
So look quick,
my smile is back,
my mind active,
and my heart full.
Funny, how fate works.

Enjoyed reading your thoughts...sometimes we need to look back...perhaps we made mistakes...perhaps we were just with the wrong person and no matter what we do the relationship will fail...James

Hey U,
I just wanted you to know that although I have not been writing I have been reading everything that you have written and you still amaze me to this day and always will.....your talent is endless Michael. It is funny how fate works indeed......funny how fate brings people together for reasons beyond our control......and seperates for reasons we can't always see at the time......but all in all our destiny's path will be followed...for as much as we wish we could sometimes, we can't change it. We love, we learn...and if we are lucky we will continue to love forever, even if destiny went a diffrent way. For it doesn't take away from that love in that time in our lives.  I am glad to read you are happy.....We do after all have only one life.....and it was ment to be lived.

As Always and forever will be,
Jenn E

Hi Michael,

Wonderful writing here, wow so truthful, I am one of those that wonders at times when will fate hit me square in the face so I do not repeat my mistakes, am I looking for a kind of love that just does not exist or what the heck am I doing to not be blessed like those around me, I don't know so I wait, this one is a keeper thank you so much, and I am very happy for you.

Love, Cerenity

If we couldn't be retrospective periodically, we couldn't advance, or clear away the dark that sometimes encompasses us.  Well written my friend.
