What does the poet do, who for everything knows the words to be said What do they do, when the one they love goes away and inside they feel completely dead What can I do to make you see, that the words I say are true That everyday since we've been apart, I've been so completely blue Yes I moved on with my life, what other choice was there to make When the day you walked out of my life, all my love and happiness you did take Though I go through the motions, and to most appear be happy as can be It's only I who knows the tears I cry inside, waiting to be set free You know who you are, the one I've loved and will till the ends of time The one I know now though, who will never again be mine You may read my words and assume, that I never think of you Then again if you know me well enough, you'd know that's not true Why did you write, I think it was more than to just drop a note to say hi Are you thinking of me now, or was this just another attempt for us to say good-bye Though months have passed, sometimes the tears at night on my pillow do fall I have to reassure myself this was for the best, though for you my heart still does call It's not likely we'll pass each other on the pavement or street No awkward bumping into one another, so we'll never meet That doesn't mean I don't still love you, because you know that I do Deep down inside of me, I know you still love me too Some things though aren't meant to be, and I guess we must move on Realising the love we once shared, has forever been lost and gone So what does the poet do, who for everything can wash the pain away with words When she looks at her own blank page, and realises her heart still aches from that bleeding sword Maybe one day, I'll understand more why you and I had to end Perhaps then on a journey my heart will begin to mend Until then I'll keep moving on, each day farther from the past Until one day I won't be in love with you, or I'll realise it's a love that will always last "love is like a butterfly-- |

*sigh* my heart goes out to you...I know well such pain as this and your words say it so clearly...I wish I had something to say that is soothing...One thing I do know...It seems to me that poets, like all artists, seem to suffer a bit more than most...It seems to give more depth to our art...Take care and never give up having hope in your heart for love...**hugs**.. |

Aimster - I felt your sorrow, as I've also been there. One thing that helped me was to write and write you heart out and post your writings right here on PIP. It helped me... BC |
