Sometimes I remember
how it used to be
when the thought of you
catches up with me

Sometimes I remember
how it should have been
and my mind drifts away
to way back when

Sometimes I remember
and the tears I freely cry
left with one word in my heart
-a question- Why?

Sometimes I remember
and try quickly to forget
words never said,
heartache, regret
-SEA-

~Sea~

A bittersweet poem to read.  I understand all too well how it feels to remember, and wonder what could have been, only to be filled with regret and pain.  Some of the saddest words in life are the words "what could have been" or "if only."  Well written!  

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

Chin up Sea!!  You don't want to remember but still you do and it hurts... One day the pain does lessen, I promise *hugs*

 A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others...

SEA....It hurts like hell when you remember what was and think of what could have been.  So sorry you feel this way.  Hang in there....it will get better in time.  Great poem.

A tearing howl for this kid.
yes it should have been
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Dear SEA

A deep, moving piece of work, one that will touch most all of us, because of the hurtful reminders, and the keenness of the pain it portrays.  We feel with you.  Hold on, it will get better.

AWESOME SEA!!! "Sometimes" I feel the same way, an echo of my own heart. Bravo!

Rather that which you haven't

I just wanted to thank you all so much, this poem came bubbling up out of my heart while I was trying to write another, I just didn't know it was there till it came out, then I knew that it describes how I've been feeling lately. It helps to know I'm not the only one. You all make me feel good, thank you for that. -SEA

Hmmm...you know I have not seen much of your work lately (It is because of my lack of time on the forums!!..*sigh*) I have to tell you girl, I miss reading you.   Glad to see you again!

Sometimes I remember
All the love I used to feel
All the candy covered times
They all seem so unreal

Sometimes I remember
The way your arms did hold me tight
Then the horrid memories
Bring me crashing from my flight

Then I soon remember
All the pain that took my bliss
Then I smile a happy smile
For none of this I miss

Love yah girl.

I am so very glad that things went so well for you yesterday. I was hoping and praying for you. Keep in touch and let me know how things are going from time to time. I don't get around the forums like I used to.
