I thought, thought again...I was wrong I thought you loved me, wanted me I thought you cared, you needed me I was the one, the one you loved We talked, shared tears, shared laughter, words For hours, almost constantly, so often I thought, I felt, I dreamed of us Again, once again, I was wrong Your words flowed over me, bathing me Your eyes gazed into me, my soul I opened my heart and my arms The emptiness I hold is of you Across the miles, over the lands from the sea to the oceans blue A road traveled, rutted by wheels A road alone, of only you. I thought you would, you never did My mind reeled from each shared moment I felt we were, though we were not Once more, I thought, I felt, I lost A withered vine, my heart, weeping falling slowly, spiraling to earth Roots of my hands grasping, clutching torn from the womb of my loves soil |

Very sad, introspective piece on love lost. Sometimes what seems so real on minute, fades into oblivion. It's our difficult resposibility to reconstitute our souls, and continue seeking the ephemeral beauty of love renewed. Good luck! Been there myself. |

I think we all have at one time or another. I wrote this after reading a poem from another poet... I am that person in this poem...speaking/thinking her feelings.. With a vengeance.....I hate when people are led down a path...one which never existed.... Thank You... |

Magnus, I know well these feelings. Still, I am sure, with such a romantic heart as yours, you will find the love you seek... ~R.T. "I shall never bond again, as I have bonded with you..." |

Tiersden...I wrote this with regard to a poem that was posted by one of the lady poets... She had been led to believe that another person's affection toward her was to become something of a relationship... Sadly, it never was...and this poem is her thoughts and feelings expressed through my pen... |

A withered vine, my heart, weeping falling slowly, spiraling to earth Roots of my hands grasping, clutching torn from the womb of my loves soil Beautifully written, again Barry....  ~ poetic hugsLyra |

Oh my how easy it is to be decieved when one extends thier heart to love someone and the results are devestating because the return of the same love is mostly imagined, not really real. It's not easy but then it's hard to define easy when the heart and love are involved! I really enjoyed this!!! |
