Thank you very much Dick_Nervous. I never thought about it that way. I mean I did fairly well in literature when it came to writing poems. But, thought that the real world may not see it the same. Thank you for clearing it up for me

Lokies_mom I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is a bit sad, but for some reason sadness brings the best out of me. As weird as that may seem!

I have one more poem for today. This was not written in relation to the poem above, since it's an older one


*Realizing*

There are times when I've felt so lost
Finding that love never comes without cost


Even though time has come and gone
I couldn't forget all along
Thoughts drifting in and out
My heart still yearns for you without a doubt


Unable to block them from entering
So many of these memories never ending
When I wake it becomes my first thought
Before rest it consumes my subconscious and once again I'm caught


Becoming dreams of how things could be
Why must these memories constantly haunt me?
So many times I've wanted to forget
That I could move on and never regret


Yet, if my memory were to disappear
I feel that my heart would still continue to hold you near


Not wanting to believe that what we had
Once such a complicated and played out lie
Was the reason I shut you out and said goodbye


Know that there are still feelings for you
Now I'm just finding out what I once believed wasn't really true
