This Year's Secret

There are words that were said in anger which cannot be taken back, or wished for a moment to be able to explain to that person; but none of it is possible because death has claimed that person and left you with pain, guilt and longing.

There are good moments one would want to remember; but here its more like the bad ones are over powering therefor anger soars.

This indeed a painful read with lots of if's and but's and maybe's...touching.

Oh, my heart. </3

You feel hopeless because you know that nothing is ever going to feel/be the same. You realize that it's too late to start over again or to salvage the loved you shared together. The memories of fighting with each other linger, words that can never be unspoken or taken back. They are seared into your brain, unable to forget the painful words that both were spoken out of anger, that you/they didn't mean...but still hurt nonetheless.

Your loved one has passed on, the reason why none of it can be taken back or having the option to start over. You wish they were still here with you and that they could help you understand.

Heartbreaking but beautiful write. <3

Not a lot of people want to remember a bad thing that as happened in their lives. The heart is key, because here for me it tells me that you lost a part of yourself. And you cannot extinguish the flame that burns in your heart. It is too late to get this person back into your life. You had a lot of love because it hurts you more than it seems. You argued over the months, but that it what you remember because your relationship was strong. This person has passed away and all you want to do is get them back. I like this poem, because you let your emotions out onto paper and didn't hold back, giving us a great insight and being able to connect to this character. 5/5
