The days pass
The seasons change
I try to find
the place where I
can leave you somewhere
long ago, in the past
I do things
to which I regret
Simple smiles
can be so much trouble
But it doesn't stop me

Am I out to hurt you?
One once asked
The answer seemed unclear
I don't know if that is my reason
or if it is all out of loneliness
But the one I hurt is always me
And the one who weeps , aches and can't move on
Is me

I don't know how to play the game
Be the player - that's not me
Stop getting hurt and be the one to hurt
But no matter how I try
I can't
The distance the player feels
is not felt in me
And all in all I hurt me
Because I can't stop loving you

A poignant, heartfelt poem, and nicely done. You inspired me to do one, which I will post and call, "The Other Side of Lonliness" later on. Hugs to you, if you are experiencing this heartache, I know that well.
