Your love was a distorted image in a fun house,
each one told a story full of lies,
the truth of my pain was always hidden,
I could never hide the sadness in my green eyes.
The pain was to become my only way of feeling,
I finally became too numb to cry,
my eyes ran out of teardrops,
so many times I should have said goodbye.
Each time you hurt me you promised it would be the last,
it was hard but I begin to trust again once more,
once more you would break my heart into pieces,
each time hurting more then the time before.
You always made me feel like I was worthless,
my jealousy ate away at my soul,
I loved you with ever breath that I took,
you were the half I needed to feel whole.
So many years I felt I was not meant to be happy,
too many years of heartache took it's toll,
the time came when I could not take anymore,
I was about to lose my mind and my soul.
My salvation was writing poetry,
writing words brought a dear friend into my life,
with his love and guidance I found my love for God,
God filled my life with happiness, God took my strife.

You are too kind. I enjoy writing so much, it gives me such pleasure. It is a plus when someone else likes it. Thank you so much, Sandy

Wonderful job. I love the way your poetry flows, like music. It is so easy to read, and easy to say, it pours out of the mouth, almost. And this one conveys such emotion as well. Fabulous job!

You always say something special, you are one of my favorites too. I admire the different forms you can write in. Being out, of high school for so many years I don't remember too much about form. I enjoy writing for my own pleasure and the Lord. What more can I ask for at my age. I feel blessed.
Take care, Sandy

I totally agree with everything you said. Thank you for reading my poem. I always appreciate your opinion Natalie. You are a terrific poet, you're just to humble to admit it. You take care of yourself, we need your sense of humor and smile on here. There's sure enough sad people. They do out number the happy ones. Sandy

Sometimes at the time the good things seem more than the bad things and it isn't till we get on in life and look back we wonder why we wasted all our time when it did cause us nothing but pain. A good hearfelt write sandy

I am glad for you.... and I am guessing this is the infamous ex... This poem shows the type of person you are..kind and true. I am sorry you had to go through that... At least some of us are stong enough to get through times like this, or have friends that can lift us up.. Thanks God for those friends. There are so very few... Best to you...

Thank you so much steffanie. I hope your life will begin to be filled with happiness too. I know it's easier said then done. I know how many people in my life took advantage of my good heart and sensitive nature. I am still like that but now I am much wiser and I have God guiding me. Take care and thanks again for the nice comment. Sandy

Thank you so much for your sweet comment. Yes my life is wonderful but it took an awful, and I mean awful long time to get here. Even when you give up on God he is still right by your side, whenever you reach out for Him he will be there. God bless you and any time you need an ear, I am always here. Take care, Sandy
