Poem: I feel broken hearted.
Pieces of me have been ripped away.
I can blame no one but myself.
My foolishness has snuffed out two burning embers.
I can’t relight what has gone out.
My exuberance has trampled over loved ones.
Driving them away to never return again.
I keep looking back turning memories over and over and over again.
Every day they escape me just a little bit more.
Every day I have to fight harder to recall intense moments.
Every day the guilt increases.
How do I come to terms with situations that have no closure?
How can I let go to the wind things I can’t change?
I hurt deep down in my belly.
It makes my eyes want to well up and cry.
I want to scream how sorry I am loud enough they can hear it.
I just want to say good-bye.
Good-bye friend, I loved you.
Good-bye friend, I’m sorry for pushing you away.
Good-bye friend, I’ll always miss you.
I understand why you’ve gone away.
Please forgive me.
Always know that no matter what you’ll always be special to me.
Years down the road if we meet, I hope it will be with a smile and with love. ...
