WHERE AM I GOING WRONG?....POEM

This is sad and beautiful. An expression of what many of us are feeling or have felt.

Beautiful but sad Ony! If he isn't the one that can give you "true and faithful" love than keep on looking for the one that will, you deserve it!!

Good job

We've all been there, Ony... Good job putting the feeling in words...

Oh! and HI!!!, BTW... ;o)

Very sad but well done.

Many thanks to all of you for your comments....much appreciated.

Why Do I Burn.?

I wonder at life sometimes with utter despair,?
It never seams to wait for those that care,?
We travel in the quiet of our own reckless thoughts,?
Wondering why some of us are so cruel and course,?

Love I have found in all the wrong places,?
When all I needed was to the look in friends faces,?
Fine wine silk smiles and bodies in lace,?
Sexy women with bits in all the right places,?
Seemed to be nothing but life in minds empty places,?

Floors I have cleaned with the tears of the past,?
Something tells me they weren’t my last,?
These tears ease the burn, but too deep they are,?
Wiped from my mind are all memories but those I keep,?
Sometimes I look back and wish I were wiped too,?

Was it me or was it you that pulled the arrow straight through,?
Piercing my heart and ripping it right apart,?
I have no more life left to give unto you,?
It is gone off into the wilderness to never return,?
This love we had is been burnt and turned,?
Into the dust in a neatly mantled urn.?

I have been there also..

Lovely poem Gary and thanks for stopping by to check mine out.

Thanks also Donna for stopping by.

Sad poem .well written. It seems the prettier the girl . The worst the guy acts. I have to beautiful nieces. Married to the worst losers you have ever seen.When I was young I would have been so proud to have a pretty young lady as you are. I married 28 years ago.
I quit drinking . I don't run around. There are guys out there for you. You just have to
wait. love is something you don't have to rush. it will be there. It;s hard for a guy to
tell someone as pretty as you are how he feels. When young .I felt I wasn't worth dating.
As I look back. I say . darn.lol. I wasn't that bad looking. I wish you luck. you will find someone that will treat you as you deserve. Have a great day.

Thank you Howard for your kind words and comments. Who knows maybe i'll find a decent guy oneday....lol
I certainly have no plans on rushing into anything but nice of you to cheer me up. XX

The poem tells a story of a broken heart trying to hang on to hope---hope when there is no hope. The poem also cries out for understanding of why those we love never act as we wish or is it we just are blind to the things we need to see. Nice flow and very descriptive.

Thank you Ron for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I think it's not just that love can be blind....sometimes we genuinely dont find things out until it's too late.

It's great to see you again!

Hiya Bridget....thanks for stopping by, it's great to be back.

Hello ONY,

Your poem is truly a thing of beauty, well-spoken, expressing a universal complaint among good women. My advice? Love him less, love yourself MORE!! Find things to do that make you happy, things you can enjoy on your own.

You'll be surprised at what/who appears on the same path if you are not searching. Get my drift?

Much love & best wishes in your journey,

Thank you Baja for your comments. Glad you liked the poem. Im pleased to say ive moved on and im looking to the future.

ONY,

It tugs at my heart!

I'm glad to see you've moved on!

Thank you for sharing!

Just a simple 'Hello' from your Gather friend.

I have been there, but a good guy will come along and he is worth waiting for.

Thank you Philip for your comments.

Thank you Stephanie for dropping by.

Thank you Sharon for your comments.

Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?

A poem every girl can relate to at some point in her life.

Dump the cad! You missing out on being open to Mr. Right while pining away for [mr. wrong].

Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?

love your choice of words, sounds like something i went threw back in the day when love was a memory of what is and whats to be.
