Still I Dwell On What Was I can only begin healing When I decide to let go Still I dwell on what was My mind sent to and fro I was trying to be hopeful Attempted to stay strong Still I dwell on what was By lingering far too long The depth of my thoughts True feelings professed Still I dwell on what was Perhaps I am obsessed Thoughts are reminders Of desired satisfactions Still I dwell on what was Of our past interactions Exposing my weakness Declared in kiss and tell Still I dwell on what was Refusing to say farewell Hope©2003 |

holding on and being hopeful doesn't work all that well, Hope Take it from one who knows. Letting go is the only way to have some inner peace. Enjoyed your words this morning hugs M |

Hope, You have a nice refrain building with the repetition of "Still I dwell on what was", it compliments the tone of this poem. Thank you for this, --Matt Give what you can. |

An appropriate subject for the rhythm of a repeating form. Good choice. Enjoy your work. s.a.g. |

A very good poem, dear Hope, but you give the right answer to its content ...you linger far too long. But when it hurts it hurts I know! I hope that you'll be able soon to let go ... to look forward ... imagine to live again in the NOW. Love and hugs. Margherita  |
