Description

The End For so long I wanted to say The words that Would change it all Today I said them And once they were gone I shook like a leaf And fell apart Was it the right thing Were they the right words How will it change my life What do I do now But words came back In a most unexpected way That surprised me Released me freed me It’s sad to think It’s really and truly over But really and truly It’s been over for a very long time At this very moment I’m raw fragile Bruised battered Emotionally spent Every little thing Sets me off Into a new round Of tears and sorrow But mostly it sets me free There are a few more Things I need to say But it’ll be easier This next time Time will heal This wound And I’ll go on Alone, but happy I just have to stop crying 12/21/08 I wrote this a little over a month ago. It was a hard time, but things are far better now--in fact, my life is good. Time does make a difference.

Sounds like a big weight has been set aside. Very nicely expressed. Recovery lies ahead. For the time being, you are free to sing the blues...for now you feel the words of all those old songs. Hugs, Bill

Endings always contain an element of loss, no matter how necessary the decision. Even an ending you've been looking forward to can be a letdown, a place to stop and grieve. Well written.

This superb and expresses so well something I have been through too. I suppose that these recognitions are part of the appeal of poetry.

My Dad once said grief is a place to bide while we find the words to begin writing the next chapter. Well written as it touches something in each of us. Loss is universal so we can all recognize this place.

yes, very well written, and as you always do with words, you expressed it all in short heart-ful expressions, little jewels of feeling...I'm glad things feel better now, I know how pain is a guest who doesn't leave when you ask it to (ie, it stays for months). I wish you strength for those moments it returns, and if you can write it the way you do here, it won't have nearly the power on you that it could otherwise. Very sensitively written, with some real music too. And the visual: It's filled with light. Much peace your way!
