Poem Artwork

 


I remember the night we parted
my heart so full of you,I couldn't
feel broken hearted


All this time that we've been apart
though I'm sad, you still remain
strong in my heart


I've never been able to resent or
berate you, because I always knew
you can't love the way I do


Everyone has a differnt capacity for love
those who know this and hold fast , will
have a relationshp that lasts


I was satisfied with what you had to give
but you couldn't accept what I gave
feeling that it overwhelmed you


Sad how some people think they have to
be the best at everything, making sure
they are the leaders in all situations


I was your achilles heel, that threatened
your control, you can't receive because you can't give, I had to be let go


The fact that I could love more,was the
reason we parted,but you'll have to deal
with it, for you're the one broken hearted

You have described a scenario that seems to replay itself over and over again. Guess some people are givers and others are takers and sometimes the two just cannot mix no matter how hard we may try....

Be safe,

Eileen, the sadness in this is real and the voice brings every line to life to allow this reader to absorb the totality of an emptiness held in your heart. Many time lovers can't face the fact that we have control & they don't...and we can love totally and they can't. This is a wonderful poem.

The sadness here Sis is that we have been in this same place. There are some loves that endure the tallest love, scale it's heighths and know...just know, that that love was so perfect it had to be given it's freedom. This purity has no twin.
Love,
Susan

I love this poem Eileen. It is sad how some people have to be the best in everything and go through life chasing others away and hurting themselves deeply.

Powerfully penned sadness, Eileen; one should never feel like a burden to their partner. Well done.

Yep, sometimes the go around gets all turned around and winds up spinning like a top out of control . . . Liked the cutting edge to this one, nicely done . . .

Tragic and poignant work. Another stellar effort.

It is sad and these types of people who think they have to be leaders are not leaders at all - they use it for control. Achilles Heel is a very appropriate title for what you have to say here. The ones who give the most in life are the ones who are berated and harassed the most in life...Sage Sweetwater says, "Take the bitter with the sweet and call it good." Be well Den Mother.

Love,
Sage

Indeed, Eileen; that is sad but sadly, not uncommon. Love and best wishes to you,
