On My Own Again

I keep going off looking for love,
ending up in all the wrong places.
Confused about where I went wrong,
fearing the loneliness my heart always faces.

Instinctively I take the blame,
in my heart, I know I gave it everything I had.
If this is truly the best thing for me,
why does it make me so damn sad?

Is there still lingering doubt
is it that I just don’t want to cause any more pain.
I think; I want; I must be sure, before I say,
“I want to be on my own again.”

Maybe that’s where I need to be,
alone, trapped in my thoughts.
Searching for a little understanding,
getting to know the depths of my own faults.

Understanding the limitations of my love,
what I can and cannot do.
Realizing how precious love really is,
accepting, it’s something I can’t share with you.

The weight of decision releases its grip
as my thoughts become focused on what I must do.
Finally content, I’m ready to talk,
when you get home, I need a little time,
I need to talk to you.

Without a word; I’m content in my heart,
for now I know what must be said.
For the sake of formality, we sat and we talked,
we both know this relationship has long been dead.

Very few word; even less tears,
it’s finally time for the healing to begin.
You go do your thing; I’ll go do mine,
its time for me to be on my own again.

Been there, done that....Wanna know what I found out? Happiness is INSIDE, you will never find it through another person, until you find it in YOU!!

Great write, very moving!!

papabear, if this is written from personal experience, you are the one who needs some of the bearhugs you were giving out yesterday. If it's not written from personal experience, you sure did make me believe it was.

Many bear hugs to you

Ethel

garysgirl, I actually wrote if for a friend that was going thru some things... one day she sent me an email telling me how she felt and asked if I understood... this was my response to her.... but I can always use a good hug... much thanks...

passing shadows, right... sometimes you have to accept that you've given it your all...
