There are so many things
I wish I could tell you,
but then I wonder
would any one of them
change the direction
of the path
we are walking down?

Last night seemed
as though it would never end,
your words kept flowing
though my mind,
and even as my body gave way to slumber...
you barged into my dreams.

During the day I am torn
between "you"
and the
"right thing to do",
during my sleep
I am ripped apart
by the memory of your
face and the touch
of your hands.

I catch myself
feeling more "caught"
in this relationship
than "drawn" to
something wonderful
that makes me feel good
when the lights go out.

Am I so indespensible
that you can walk away
and never look back.
Are you that strong?
If so...
can I borrow some of your strength?

I can't think in this house,
or this town.
I feel as though
at any moment
I will bust,
and bleed
from the inside out.

I bought a one way ticket
to a town
I've never even seen on a map.
No one there will know me,
or my past.
I won't be breathing
around familiar faces.

I would stay
if you asked me,
but I can't even get you on the phone.
You promised you would come by,
but that was hours ago,
and still no sign.

In my heart
I'm tired of running,
and I really want to stay.
But, I can't be here if you are...
so that leaves
running away.

I never wanted to believe
all the talk was true,
I was sure
you weren't that bad,
I thought...
love would change you.

You're gone,
and I'm here,
wishing...
that the attraction wasn't so strong.
The days are shorter
without you,
and the nights can be so,
so long.

It would be much easier
if you would change
so that we could be
"falling together",
instead of me
"falling apart".

Excellent poem. Gosh, if only people would
change and give things a chance, huh?

Tima:

God you said it all right here:

I can't think in this house,
or this town.
I feel as though
at any moment
I will bust,
and bleed
from the inside out.

Me too!!! Kind of like you want to wake up in another life . . .

You are strong
I loved this
even in its sadness
xxoo

Nice expression of your feelings...the only way I can get myself out of these situations is keep repeating to myself...why do I want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with me...James

Let your love move on, with you ~
Don't waste your sorrows ~
Renew your own inner love ~
Care for yourself till healing

When you love NEXT time, it will
be real and lasting~

Great write, Heartache FELT!
