If you think...

It took me less than 15 minutes to write this....I felt like the words were flowing from my fingers straight onto the keyboard. I didn't exactly have to think much. I suspect that my brain did not compose it. My heart did.

 

 

 

If you think...
It’s easy for me to carry on,
Find another man and live another life,
Build another home and be a good wife,
You’re mistaken...

If you think...
I have erased your memories from my mind,
Emptied my wardrobe of your clothes,
Thrown away your letters, those love notes,
You’re mistaken…

 
If you think...
I can spend an entire hour minus a thought of you,
I go to bed each night without shedding a tear,
And I don’t get flashes of you everywhere,
You’re mistaken…

If you think I don’t miss you, you’re mistaken
…mistaken, because I can’t look beyond you.

For you mean myself to me.
Yes, you still do…

I understand this so completely, I felt like this ...
a couple of times...
thinking it I could never feel this again....
but I did and it was the most horrible feeling ever...
I was told to go on, forget about him, live your life...
But how could I, when he was my life...
Like it is written above... "For you mean myself to me"...
that's just how I felt.
Beautiful Poem.
Alba :-)

How could this have not been written from the heart? It is pure emotion, the pain of your husband doing whatever he did to hurt you permeates it. I'm sorry for your pain, that it took so much to write such a magnificent piece of writing.

It never ceases to amaze me how a certain person can have such an effect on us.
It isn't easy to forget that and let it. I know.
Wonderful write. :)

It is never that easy to forget a love that strong.
I can tell that this was written by your heart and it conveys how much it is hurting.
I hope expressing your thoughts helps you to heal your fragile heart : )

Nicely done. I really liked this poem alot. (Wouldn't it be nice if the person you wrote this about would read it?) Really hit home for me. I can feel your pain in every line you wrote. Good job!
Thanks for sharing such a personal piece.

Oh, the sorrow just flows off the page. This is a heart breaking piece- so eloquently written. The message is so strong and the words are just perfect. Very good write.
