For What May Have Been

...a sad musing...

 

 

I go through the routine

Of my every day life,

Showing a stoic face

While inside I cry bitter tears…

 

My heart breaks

Into a million pieces

A host of questions

Cloud my subconscious mind…

 

Some answered, most a mystery…

Was it real or just a dream?

Am I not worthy of the love

That you could bestow upon me?

 

Or am I one in a line

Of broken hearts that litter

The vast scenery of a past life…

My weary mind wonders…

 

All I ever wanted was the security

That you would give to my existence,

The kind whisper of your heart,

The gentleness of your soul…

 

Now I am left with my heart

Tattered and torn,

My soul yearning

For what may have been…

I can so relate to this piece, after a broken heart you try using a routine everyday thinking it is the way to keep yourself occupied... and all those question in your mind of what went wrong and why you didn't see it coming then even seeing clues you missed before... very nice expression of the sorrow and confusion of a broken heart.

Your alter ego has presented a very deep poem that oozes saddness. I never thought saddness could be so beautifully written. I really like this poem. Great job. I thank you very much for the read request. Keep writing.

I know this mask of which you speak. I have worn it for longer than I can remember. I woke up today in an oh so melancholy mood. Fitting tht this would be the first thing that I read. These opening lines cut me deep in my heart. To the point of tears. It is a sad place to be in... A beautiful write my friend, a beautiful write indeed.

This is full of sadness and longing, questions, doubts and yet more longing.

Beautifully presented, fine construction.. it has everything..

The rantings of your alter ego? I think this was written beautifully;
its sad, very sad...and the flow was just so swift and beautiful, just like the words.
I loved reading this...its a great write!
