I can't believe this is happening to me...


Poem Artwork

The End Of…
 
The end of all
Began at the beginning
All that begins ends
And all that ends begins
 
The end of all of me with you
Started at its inception
Now the start of the beginning
Of the end is here
As it was in the beginning
As we both knew it would come to be
 
She said
I am so sorry for causing you
All of this pain
Am I not still the same girl
You remember
 
What do I know
To tell her
 
I know that memories
Won’t change the end
The sand is sifting
To the bottom of the hourglass
Bringing to mind
Dunes
Oases
Stars
So bright
Such stark ebon sky
You feel you can touch
them
Touch you
(You know I love you)
Caress the camels
Smell their fetid breath
Wish I were somewhere else
Since you’re not here
Now
I know we are near the end of
The beginning of the end
And nothing will change
The harsh reality
Of good-bye
 
Safe for another beginning
 
Love
I will always love you
                                                           
 
 

PS:  I also know that I am hurting like hell.

The beginning to the end. Yes break-ups are painful.... good to identify the beginning to the end. It makes the healing process easier. And remember the only medicine we tend to ignore is the potent medicine called TIME! yes time is a great healer...days become weeks into months and then years. Soon the heartbreak will be replaced with " I can't belive I felt that way"

cherish every moment, we are dying from the day we are born, we just don't want to think about it. remember we are actually each living in our own separate worlds and sometimes the closer we think we are getting to anothers world could signal the fact that they are drifting farther away from ours. To love each other simply means we try to understand for better or for worse. and often times it's worse. although
I prefer to believe one day our worlds will be as one. and our lives will be simple. I live for that day.

Excellent
Take care

If we've fallen in love, and unless some are lucky

I agree Reg, and I echo Felix, "if you love her,let her go". It's an old saying, but one that has real meaning even today. If she wants to go, and doesn't have that flame that was there at the beginning, then let her go. And even tho she may not want a parting kiss or hug, tell her you love her anyway.

This poem of love's end is sad to say the least, and is written with feeling and deep emotions. Chin up Reg, the days have to get better than hey are right now.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

We cannot hold on to another's love if they don't love us We cannot buy love either. You will find another with time and it will be more meaningful to you. Believe me I been through it too. We all think we suffer over a lost love, but the strength to go on make us better people for the next person who really truly does care and love us. So sad for your sorrow, but don't give up. Things will even out with time.
