As I Turn to...
The heaviness of
deafness,
in your stare,
makes all my senses go numb...
Given me tunnel vision not to notice,
colors of beauty or
sounds of a nearby voice,
wind passing by, or
the sun in the sky.
Taking away all meaning
but the hurt in your eyes....
but have we not played this game
too many times?
You, really seeing,
the pain inside I have?
Yet your stare brings me to
my knees,
Where what is left of my heart
still lays...
This is what I would still give
if I could pick it up,
but there are no solid pieces left,
for me to grip,
So I turn around
and pick myself up,
Thinking its a game
you just like to play,
And I leave behind this broken heart,
as I turn to walk away...

really enjoyed your poem!
Oh how love is ever so rough,...
but,- on a lighter note, it gives us something to write about.....
Keep up the good writes!
Smiley Guerrero
You are right...
"on a lighter note", exactly. Sometimes I just laugh at myself and the decisions I have made, just to keep my head up. Time heals all wounds, but why does it have to move so slow? Thanks for your kind words-Lee
It does move slowly, way too
It does move slowly, way too slowly. I want my life back so badly and I miss the old happy me. He died the day she asked for the divorce. But like smileyari said, it gives us something to write about. I try to write something upbeat at least once a week to keep myself sane.
I know what your saying....
There hasn't been a day gone by that I didn't feel some pain, since I realized something just was not adding up with what she was telling me and what she was doing. I try so hard to keep it in perspective, knowing how blessed I am to live in this country, not really having to worry about my next meal, and the freedom I enjoy... but I have so many questions I will never know the answers to... I gave so much of myself to her, and in the end I just got pushed aside like a toy she was tired of playing with... I try to be upbeat too, but it is hard, so hard... thanks for the read and comment, Scottie, take care-Lee
