Rose Colored Glasses

Looking through rose colored glasses,
dark shadows in my heart hid deep.
Falling deeper as time slowly passes,
loneliness of midnight starts to creep.

Hurtful words lie in jumbled array,
pierces the heart makes it bleed.
Missing happiness now gone away,
longing for the love I so need.

Time shall not erase from my mind,
memories once made me feel alive.
Part of me will remain left behind,
as the rest of me tries to survive.

Sticks, stones may break a bone,
they say words will never hurt you.
But the pain is never really gone,
teardrops linger the night through.

Time to take off rose colored glasses,
and see how unkind the world can be.

How life falls apart as time passes,
never again will my heart be set free.

    Sandy, I am sorry to see these feelings that haunt you, I know it might well just be poetry here but I sense a little more truth to the words than just that.

    Life is what it is and we all have to deal with the emotions we carry for all our days.

    May the sun come out and shine on you and lift that spirit as it would the petals of a rose.

    That is exactly how it is. You get older but no wiser and it still hurts more than you could ever think possible. Well done Sandy Sheila

    Very emotionally penned

    Very nice flow of words conveying the sorrow of love lost and the emotional out put one goes through to try to soften the blow... with rose colored glasses.
