 In the telling of my story In the shadow of your good bye I smile and pretend You didn’t make me cry I walk through each day With my head held high I give no evidence That you made me cry Sometimes I forget And catch my breath mid sigh But you won’t see the traces Of the tears I don’t cry My heart is still whole I only sometimes lie But the truth remains You’ll never see me cry I live my life in happiness I never wonder ‘why’ See my busy life?? I have no time to cry No, I will not love you Until the day I die You were never a part of me I have no tears to cry I look at my reflection Smile and say “nice try” Painfully wipe away the tears Spilled from your good bye ~SEA~ with all that you are... |

How beautifully you write of how we defend and protect our vulnerability, so important to keep our hearts safe from the pain that shatters us so easily.... Hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Sea - Very good. It is so tough to act tough on the outside, when on the inside you are so very sad. You captured that feeling very well. Dave |

Very well done, SEA! I do like the constant of the last lines of each stanza.  |

Okay, I confess, I keep a box of Puffs Plus with lotion by the screen for times like these! Jeez, this is sorrowful and touched me. Kathleen--(Kay) |

SEA - Only tears of happiness should dampen your cheeks. Well done. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

You bring back memories, SEA. Tonight, again, I wipe away tears of a love from 50 years ago. Thank you for again allowing me to remember her and wipe away tears. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

This is one of the most honest poems about feelings I've ever read. It's excellent. More please, more. |

You capture that inner conversation too many of us are familiar with ... Denial and the hope that such denial will spare us from thinking another gains any satisfaction from our pain .... when owning it, feeling it and then releasing it ultimately frees us and allows us to move on. Beautiful, empathetic poem |
