What Is

What's done is done
There's no fixing what's been broken
What's been said is said
There's no unhearing what's been spoken
Nothing will ever change
We cannot change who we are
You will always be the one who hurt me
I will always bear that scar
No where to go but forward
No sense in looking behind
If we go where we've been
What we found is all we'll find
It is what it is
Whether it's what we wanted or not
What we wanted means nothing
This is what we got

This is all so true, KeelyJane, and you have put it all together and said it all so well as is your usual. And I am the same as I ever was!

I Love Rhyme Schemes. This is very good work. I appreciate the very blunt and direct speech. I knew from the opening lines that this was going to be a good poem. This poem was a very good read from start to finish.

It is said that it is not just saying the right thing at the right time but also not saying the wrong thing when tempted… life is short and love is precious so enjoy them both while you have it.

Aw, this is penned so beautifully. I can truly relate to this piece, having split up with my gf four days ago :(

You had a wonderful introduction that kept me reading til the end. Wisely written!

Words are potent and can either lift us or destroy us....you said it best Keely, well pen'd.

I find looking back very confusing, a lot of me says let it be and some of me says what if, you have posed these questions very well and very clearly

[Mark]

Strange how we think we love, then later run into walls in each other. Heartfelt poem, I can relate!

[Vidya Bacchus]

So much sadness and a feeling of reaching to a point of no return .
