My mind is empty, my heart is still, no longer do I breath.
My eyes are closed, my brain shut off, no longer do I feel.
My voice is quiet, my soul is closed, no longer does it dwell.
You've taken what you've wanted, nothing is left of me.
You've taken all I've offered, and left me here to bleed.
You've taken everything I loved, and tossed it to the side.
I try to work things through each time, and seem to make it right.
I try to gather up the thoughts, and find the love inside.
I try to capture every breath, and hold it close to me.
You will not see me for the person that I am right now.
You will not know what you have done until the day I'm gone.
You will not know what you have lost, until it is to late.
We'll look behind us and stare into the past.
We'll hold out our hands, and see nothing but the pain.
We'll walk away grasping for the air.
No longer will I wonder, about the love we had.
No longer will I be alone even though you were with me.
No longer will I take the beatings of words that you twist and turn.
I'm done. You have won. I'm beaten, and I concede,
but as I go, I must ask... who is the victor? You or Me?

Love's Labor Lost

DC:

You seem to be on an introspective tour and are not happy with that portion of you that is looking at your relationship with your loved one because the love has become one-sided. I had a friend once who was married to the worst woman in the world. I asked him why? His answer floored me; When its good it's heaven. When its bad its horrible, but you keep hoping, praying, and waiting for the good to return again. Thank You. Ronnie W.

Pain

Moving 'portrait' of pain and resignation. Well woven and presented, but intensely sad. Thank you

This is an intensely sad poem!

There is just too much sadness in our lives and you are well able to communicate that.

I hope that life and the gods conspire to bring you true happiness during this season that cries for joy!

Please keep sharing yourself in your stories; it is by learning that others are like us we can face the world with a braver heart. (There are reasons why I like to write stories with happy endings, but sometimes the dark side wins out!)

God bless!
