Happiness is...

‘Though you’re still alive

and well living,

This is your funeral…

Now it’s been over

ten years and I

still converse with

the ghost of our once

love.

We shined so bright!

We were perfect for each other…

‘Though those are the stars

that live a shorter span

of life.

You gently ask me to move on

and fall in love with her.

You say that she's so

good for me.

But baby, I don't want to

lose us!

I'm afraid I'll

forget you.

This is true loneliness...

‘Though you’re still alive
and well living,
This is your funeral…

Sin i cant help but fall in love with your poetry. Its like balm to my chapped soul. The pace, tone and emotional integrity of this piece is VERACIOUS ( Ps that is the word of the day so score one for me ;) )

Keep it up

I fell in love with those lines you quoted as well!
I always try to be as brutally honest as I can, so it may be felt and shown as it's being read.
I'm more than glad that you see that Crystal.
Thank you so much for reading, I always appreciate it.

Moving on is indeed highly difficult and even impossible for some of us. We feel as if whatever love we had with another is too special to let go, and our fear is that no other love will ever come close to it in all its glory. I always look forward to reading your work. :)

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Maja. That means so much to me to hear that!

Putting past love away is a difficult thing, but much needed to go forward. New love is hard to build when an old love occupies too much space in the heart. It needs the room to flourish. Sometimes writing about it helps to banish the ghosts, but don't worry about loosing them all together. She is woven into the essence of you, because she helped form you. You will always hold a piece of her.

[sinNsincerity]

Yep I couldn't agree anymore. Like you said, she help shape pieces of me and she'll always be apart of me along with every single person who has stepped in and out of my life. She's just something special and SHE and the entire world should know it that's all...

[JayceeC]

Live should always be expressed and commemorated.

the rise the fall the rise the fall the rise the rise the rise and fall ... life comes in ebbs and flows the trick is ride in with abandon ... embrace the all the everything ... accept it all as a part of you ... for then you get to observe and be part of the real bigger picture ... the bigger picture where one knows that we are all a part of one another so really nothing matters :)

quite an emotive piece - you are quite the romantic aren't you? I can learn from this ...for I am a bit of a turtle with a tough exterior .. hehehe .. nice one my friend X

[sinNsincerity]

I use to have an tough exterior, but I figured It's about time to show everyone what I'm really made of.
And I agree with all that you've stated, I've learned all of that. I just forward towards the small picture that'll stay in my wallet for eternity that's all...

[KWP]

of course you understand for it is all within us right ... I still have a tough exterior ... and I'm ok with that for now ... the world needs warriors ... and I am here for the world ;) ... much love X

Love! As much as it comes with tumultuous feelings, we still want love. I could feel you pouring your heart out in every line. Good work

[sinNsincerity]

I still do. it's well worth the misery!
Thank you so much Gcina!

[jeannemarie coulter]

heavy questions posed here...sadly it seem as if someone is going to be lonely no matter which road is taken...thought provoking to say the least..

[sinNsincerity]

It is true loneliness because no one thus far has been able to bring forth such happiness.

[Jamestown]

True love is hard to find, can relate!
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[sinNsincerity]
