you walked into my life with smiles and hope
fragile was my conscience did I know
and yet lessons found those paths I needed to know
flowing beyond understanding
yet my heart reaching for something I desperately wanted
alas it wasn't meant to be
so I walk though life a little wiser
still my heart bleeds
though I'll recover eventually
yet the darkness finds me
speaking clearly
and I wonder if I'll ever find what I need to complete me
within my book of life
silence touches my soul
and yet I still find those smiles that I need
yes I'll go on
maybe one day love will shine
and take away those shadows that haunt me
leading to the certain path I do need to find
Please tell me what you think

Sidey
I am touched by this poem.The meaning behind those lines are so :[ heartbreaking.It sounds terribly painful to go through.
But the way you painted the emotions made this poem Beautiful.In some way its healing too.When things are not meant to be.We need to be wiser and walk through isn't it.
And I like the image above...thanks for sharing
take care

hi Billy, not bad my friend! Re; finding what you need to complete you, you find it in your mirror without, but this is only a key to internalizing it within, not to heal but to reveal, the inner fractures through which God shines, once you internalize your opposite you will find yourself, and you will create a new world in your image...in the meantime dont be too sad, you have learned somethng valuable...and it all makes for good poetry doesnt it, this living we do...?

I like it
I think you've captured a moment we all can relate to in its universality and poignant introspectiveness.
I'd try to find a different way to end lines 2 and 3... use of the same word in the same location two lines in a row would be stronger if avoided.
lines 10, 12 and 18 all end in "me". Think about "for completion" instead of "to complete me" for line 12 and perhaps "haunting shadows" instead of "shadows that haunt me" for line 18.
Cheers Bill!

Wow
You weren't wrong when you said it was a sad one
I can't think of anything to say that isn't horribly cliched to comfort your pain, but the poem was wonderfully penned and bitter sweet...
