Denial

Alas we didn’t meet, and now the scene has passed
Destiny must run true
Though I wish it wasn’t you
The years have stole your best girl
Something I used to see has faded
Your nights have stayed dark
Eyes entombed in sadness
I hear the men in white talk to you now
Touched me for a time
Tried to recall a date
Saw your face to late
If I could change the scene
I’d have you in my dream
Take you from your pain
Let you start again
I used to know this girl, called
What the hell
I didn’t know her well
Seems she went insane today
I turned the page
Seemed the only way.

Too many watchers....im a gone girl....

[Paul Bell]

Don't go to far. Need your writes.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

Lol that's what they all say before they walk away

I think this one leaves way too much open... interpretation mind-space... seems to lean toward callous - even a casualness of a cold, never-gave-a-damn, intent. THAT being your aim - well achieved; but if not - then what was achieved ...just asking.

Could be ya got a rise from me... let me think on it.

[Paul Bell]

He callously turned the page. But the realism tore into him.

[Chris]

ya, you got a rise...

A story to be taken in so many ways! Always a nice read ... especially ur serious pieces!

[Paul Bell]

Where have you been hiding.

[BBP]

Writing and getting I inspiredly drunk

[Paul Bell]

You might have a least shared a drink, drunk.

[BBP]

Drunks don't share lol

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is so gut wrenching...lost love, lost mind, regrets forever...could we have saved her?
she is not the girl i used to know...but is that my fault?

we can turn the page---but that particular one will stay dog-eared forever.

[Paul Bell]

I think it's the human way. We pretend it can't happen. So it suits us to walk away.

Wow! Deeply written and felt poem of love lost, or never begun. What happened to this woman's life- such a cruel twist of fate.."seems she went insane today"-.staccato lines and rhymes- so powerful and evocative. The poet sees and denies his pain, love? " I used to know this girl, called...What the hell..I didn't know her well."-sadness, regrets-"I turned the page.." But, memories linger and haunt.... Brilliant.

[Paul Bell]

I think it's a hiding thing. If he pretends. It didn't happen then.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Head in the sand? I do it often myself..

[Paul Bell]

We all do it. Even Theresa May. lol

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

...and the Donald! :)

[Paul Bell]

Sometimes someone can make you feel this way
if you feel so much for this person
life is a cycle
the times of hardship bring great times ahead
just stick with it long enough i guess

[Paul Bell]

Certain people you think are invincible. Till something happens.
