Home, Alone

Here in this house
where I reside,
I give thanks. Here,
at home within
this heart where you
belong,

I am alone.

It’s how I want
to be tonight
remembering
the way it was
when I believed
your words

when you said my
good home deserved
a house like this
one you helped me
move into in June
before

July when you
would announce you
weren’t my friend. You
might as well have
pulled a trigger.
The wound’s

not healed. And I
understand now
it never will
just as I know
you will find me
one day

here, in this house
where I reside,
give thanks tonight,
at home within
this heart where you
belong.

Then I will be home,
no more alone.

I can relate, too. Letting go was very hard for me, and sometimes it seems I really havent yet, though that pain is less as time moves me along to whatever may await. Lets look at what we can be grateful for, today. If I really think about it? I have much to give thanks for, and that helps me a lot. A very good poem. Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless. =0).

I can relate to your feelings, Dawn, as I have walked down that path before. In the long run, I came to the realization that though I loved with all my heart, he did not. He was in love with the concept of love, but never really could love me, himself or anyone. Heartbreaking, yes, but a good lesson to have learned. I wait for no one now. When it is right, it works, when its not, it doesn't. A simple lesson but one that can be so very hard to accept.
Take care,
Sherry
