Final Words

I gave you old words of mine,
Because words for you, I couldn't find.

The words now come,
But it's too late,
Our time is done.

But a promise once was made,
And with these words,
That promise is paid.

To see in my heart,
Just open your hand,
You held it from the start.

My love was strong - not bold.
So, not fueled by wildfires,
My passion seemed quite cold.

Firmly stuck in my head,
For nearly a year,
'Twas you I sought to wed.

Now we sit, apart and battered,
That dream deceased,
That love shattered.

Yet to go on as friends,
Is better than the end.

[Between the grey]

I like this thought is was sad but well expressed.

[KAREN]

It,s a sad poem, but happy as well when two loves can remain friends! I thought this was written well and flowed good too. I felt the emotion in this writing.

[ImagineItAll]

The ending is sad to me only because I had hoped to see the relationship work out as more than friends. But it was very beautiful and emotional, and I enjoyed every word.
