Say Goodbye I know It is difficult To accept But show Me The pride That is You Accept with Civility That I cannot Stay That what Was, Is no longer That our could-have-beens Were, once But the Differences Of us Became Indifferent You want Your way And tell me to Go your way [You don’t ask] While Not acknowledging My way At all Lopsided I am not Neither are you But you are Leaning too far Your way And even though I have stretched Out my hand To pull you Back to center You topple onto Me, crushing My gifts And in trying To get us both Back to center I apparently Have lost The lift I once gave you So while I feel Like a ship Without ballast Perhaps as a Single raft I can float it Alone And I can only Hope that someday You will find The anchor you need For the wind Has blown ~ I wish you fair Weather ~ The sail is set ~ The sunset Is my destiny |

"But the differences of us became indifferent..." this says so much; at that point there is no hope.. A lot of strength in this. Enjoyed. Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

"For the wind Has blown ~ I wish you fair Weather ~ The sail is set ~ The sunset Is my destiny" Such a melancholy write dear Lady. I do hope all is well with you... This one absolutely aches. ~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~ ~ Trace my body with your words.. |

sad... and it runs down the page like a raindrop on glass... leaving a trail from where it first hit to the fall at the end. |

'I know It is difficult To accept But show Me The pride That is You Accept with Civility That I cannot Stay That what Was, Is no longer' …… 'And in trying To get us both Back to center I apparently Have lost The lift I once gave you So while I feel Like a ship Without ballast Perhaps as a Single raft I can float it Alone' Got me thinking with this one... |

So while I feel Like a ship Without ballast Perhaps as a Single raft I can float it Alone I liked the tone of this poem, the message, and also the hope in something that could be painful. Good poem. |

Lady, i'm agreeing with Cpat, it was indeed like a delicate tear falling down the page. amazing flow to this, images and thoughts. being submitted to quiet forceful manouveres, without being asked, when you don't even desire to travel in that life direction... perfectly shown here. you go girl....sail to your own destinys sunset! lots of love, gemma xxxxxxxx learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love. |
