Not Your Need you kept more of you from me and that I just don’t understand the art of love is in sharing that is who I am I held on through the darkness without a single ray of light you stood on the other side of the door never once did you open it to invite mistakes have been made on the way and I will take my share but under all this weight some are way too much to bear I loved you but couldn’t love you enough realizing it in my heart and head is now just a bit rough I gave you all I am I’m weary, broken, and I concede I see that I am not enough I am not who you need "...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare |

Sometimes thing just don't work out. It's difficult to accept, But the facts never change for lack of understanding. The poem was very easy to accept Flowing nicely. Gloom |

This poem accepts the fact that blame needs to be shared... that lives can go on.... well done, Lady.... |

OneSlickLady~ Very sad emote. Time of recognition-acceptance-forgiveness-and moving beyond. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

...these are easily recognized emotions shared here... "...don't ever stop loving, don't ever stop believing, don't ever stop dreaming your dreams..." |

"I gave you all I am I’m weary, broken, and I concede I see that I am not enough I am not who you need" Such sad lines, you did a wonderful job of making the reader feel the pain and how hopeless it is to love and lose. |

Such a sad poem. The ending concession is a heartbreaking realization many of us have had to face - and it's never easy. Great poem. |

It's only ourselves we can love enough...and how the healing begins. Well done. |

it's sad when you have to come to that realization. . .but. . . it's something that is sometimes the only way. . . I can feel the loss. . . and the hurt. . . excellent writing. . . ----------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I feel the pain in this, this always hurts the most. Beautifully sad. Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |
