Somewhere in the vast wasteland

0 posted 2000-12-21 03:30 AM


All my dreams now gone
Dashed on the rocks of dispair
Just when I thought you are the one
Gone as into the bleakness I stare

My hopes are no more
Vanished like the setting sun
Standing there as my heart tore
Knowing that this cannot be undone

All joy has been crushed
Grapes being made into wine
My tongue has now been hushed
Feelings supressed for all time

My spirit is dying
Shot straight through my heart
All the while I am crying
With my happiness I did part

In my life all is lost
That fabric of time forever torn
No matter what the cost
I refuse to mourn

It has been along time now
Now I need to be reborn
To take on life with a new vow
Never to heed what they warn

I am new to this new life
To start out fresh again
Without my past strife
With everything to gain

ethome- Thank you.  This poem is about what I go though when my relationships have come to an end.  I put my heart, my soul, my everything into them.  When a break up happens, I am just crushed.  But somehow I manage to find a way to start again.  Thanks again.

to step, cautiously
into life once again
knowing the hurt
knowing that when
I give my love
away, once again
pain may shroud the
portal, but fool
this mortal, me,
for in love I shall be

WW, don't ever stop hoping...ever...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Sunshine-  My hope always seems to return.  Just like the rain here in Oregon.    My hope is sometimes the only thing that ends up pulling me through but I always get through it.  Thank you for the encouragement.
