You knew this day would come Inevitable, been due a long long time Still the sadness is somewhat overwhelming As you reflect over the years in your mind Remember when you took those vows Clear in your mind to this day Only takes a signature from the pen To make the promise of long ago go away Chalk it up as another experience song Put it alongside all of your other failures in life As your memory list gets long, with things gone wrong Time now, for reflections in your mind of struggle,and strife Memories of the past, in vivid twenty twenty vision Serve to ignite the fire of sadness, of past decision The thought to yourself, questions if you've ever done anything right As you chose love, for your guiding light So don't hesitate, cut the cord, Just sign and date, seal this fate, Using the pen as your sword For it is done every day, This time, it's well overdue Just sign, on the dotted line The official end of me...and of you Copyright © -2001 Dennis Hicks All Rights Reserved by Author |

Dennis, this is very sad. But, such a common thing in our world today. Have you learned anything from that relationship? I've learned a lot from my past heartaches and broken promises, and so has my Love from his past. We have talked for hours about these situations. I really believe that we both have learned a lot from our past. But, we both still know that to keep our love alive and our relationship healthy, we have to work together at it. BTW, you do a very good job of expressing your feelings in your poetry. I can tell that it's from your heart.

Guess it does no good to refuse, does it? So many signatures on file, so many love stories stamped out. |

Very sad to say i have been here more than once>> Memories of the past, in vivid twenty twenty vision Serve to ignite the fire of sadness, of past decision The thought to yourself, questions if you've ever done anything right As you chose love, for your guiding light This is well penned with skill on this topic... take care, Cher Poetry is: |
