    Poem Commentary

    Three years of ups and downs. Trying in every way I could. But there is no way a relationship can hold up when only one is willing to make the effort in more ways than an occasional word. Love lost is only lost if you ever really had it to start with.

    Time to Move On



    Life is sweeter without the pain
    Reaching back each day for you
    Moving on this heart must sustain
    Hoping for words far over due

    Alone in the dark and quiet night
    Silence fills my heart
    No one but you could fill the space
    A word of love it would restart

    Unspoken words tear at me
    I cannot continue this way
    Until there is nothing left
    And I die a little more each day

    Time to Move On
    See things in a different light
    Make the most of who I am
    Move on without you in my life

    I have more love than you could imagine
    Stored up within my heart
    It was all there for you to have
    Abundantly I would impart

    Distancing yourself as you so easily do
    and caring so little of me
    Though your words at first were endearing
    Twas all lost for I was across the sea

    So it is time for me to move on
    I am taking up a new stand
    I refuse to be hurt again
    Time to see where this heart lands

    Swan

    san, I love that you can write such free flowing verse knowing that there must be pain and angst within, but still the poetry sings in a positive way! ginga

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
