Broken

She broke her promise long ago
But now this final curtain
That closes down upon the show
Has taught me it is certain.

We won’t grow old and have and hold
This family I adore.
Her heart has now become too cold
To love me anymore.

I somehow knew it all along
But I just could not feel
That she and I did not belong
Together. Is this real?

In solitude I call her name
Remembering a prayer,
And letting go of any blame.
What memories we share.

It ended after twenty years
What shouldn’t end at all.
But I could not escape the fears
Or this last curtain call.

So vanish out in to the dark
As all is over now.
Without a promise I’ll embark
To find my way somehow.

John H. Bidwell

Yes, you will, John. With the love and support of friends... yes, you will. And don't forget that it's always in the darkness that the light shines brightest. ;)

Hugs,
Tami

Sad write but if it is you put your trust in close friends and for sure with there strength and a strong hand you will find your way.
Life sometimes is like a dark storm cloud but if we look hard and thru it the sunshine is waiting to shine down on us.

Hello John!
I hope this isn't you, love, but if it is, you're not going to die. You'll just feel like it for a while. It's time for new experiences in your life. Good write.

Love, Bonnie

This is a very touching write. I especially am moved by the last line...."Without a promise I'll embark To find my way somehow." Perhaps there is no promise, but we always have friends.

This is somewhat sad, John, but yet, so full of hope. You will find your way. I have faith in that much. You already have a start in the ability to place your thoughts on paper. That, in itself, is personal healing power. Every day's a new day and a new chance to start over. Do not ever forget that.
Take care,
Jill

Yes you will find your way, and you never know it
may be a better way. Hard to believe but it happens.
You have such a gift for poetry, the rhythm and rhyme a joy!

if this is autobiographical, i'm sorry for your loss, but every ending is a new beginning, maybe it does't' seem like a good one but it can turn out that way
