Letters that date back many tears all addressed to you
Revelations from the heart and eventually the truth
Closure your destination? I have your ticket and your pass
Possessing the means to put your mind at ease at last
Weighted guilt casts happiness away from my embrace
Feelings once tucked away circumscribe, I’m encased
In the misery of life without love, happiness or you
Connecting with your eyes, it occurs to me, you have no clue
Of my love, my sorrow, my regret, the guilt or shame
Of my journey through anguish or the feelings that remain
Gathering the courage proved to be extremely difficult
It’s arduous to say “I’m sorry, this is entirely my fault”
Cradled in your love I endured another season
The probability of us affords yet another reason
To discard emotional baggage that bounds me to yesterday
To migrate to the present and live for today
For lending your ear and providing a shoulder to lean on
For reminding me of all the reasons I needed to move on
For accepting me as I am in the face of the truth,
My love will never die; I am forever indebted to you

Feelings and emotions that you don't share as you wrote about in the beginning of this piece I am all to familiar with.. And the rest of it too. Women seem to wear a badge of okay if we don't talk about it maybe it's not happening. Ever notice that? I really enjoyed this hon.. Take Care and be safe, Catressa

Awesome write.. this was very sweet.. it started out kinda sad for me anyways and then completly turned around. I love the last stanza its so powerful in ways I can't really explain. I have echoed those same words to a certain someone in my life. This is wonderful.

Beuatiful Spellbinding Poem
Another masterpiece from a very gifted writer, so much emotions in this brilliant write. There comes a time in everyones life where we have to discard our emotional baggage, the thing that keeps bring us down the most. Suffice to say, I loved this poem Dee and I look forward to reading more of your poems. You're an amazing writer and story teller. Keep up the great work.
All my love,
Avril

Poignant & profound
This is a poignant and lovely tribute to love lost. It is so often the bitterness of the loss that stays with us rather than the gratitude for the love. You made me do some thinking...and, I can't imagine higher praise a poet might recieve. Very well done.

This is very good. I like the word choice; very deep and profound. The storyline (if it can be called that) is sad, but you have put it into words very masterfully. Great job. Keep writing.

Very sweet poem here. On the first line is it meant to be tears or years? I was thinking that they both fit and I prefer tears, but wasn't sure, and as the keys are right next to each other it's easy to make that mistake. I'm sure its not but I always hit the wrong key accidently Lots of emotion I get the feeling that you don't love this person and they don't realise it. Hmmm oh well I enjoyed debating with myself over it. Very entertaining piece. Peace :S <3

This is so touching. It has emotion that pours from the deepest ocean exploding. Great job. You can tell that this piece is truly heartfelt. You pour so much emotion into it, that you should be very proud of yourself. Great job.

This is such a touching write that has emotion pouring from each and every word...This is obviously very personal...Sadly the meaning can be taken in so many ways and only the writer knows the whole story...I do hope you are happy.

Ah, Dee! This is gorgeous! I am enthralled by not only the sincerity in your words, but the beauty that radiates within. Just a week ago I sat here lamenting about my lack of human love, and the fractured relationships that I'd suffered through thus far. I mean, divine love is best of all, but it is also said that humankind wasn't created to be a race of loners. I absolutely adore these words, for it speaks both of former anguish and present affection. I am glad you have met this person; he seems to bring a lot into your life. Absolutely wonderful writing!
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora
