Destiny Unkind

by Rachel RTVW   Jan 21, 2010


Broken promises linger
Echoes haunt night's dreams
Escape from this reality
Awoken by the screams

Lain soft in sorrow's lay
Without you by my side
Soul treading silent shores
This life, a lonely ride

Destiny unkind to me
Dream's been torn apart
Memories of the love we shared
Tattooed upon my heart

These crossroads we have reached
Yet I still can't say goodbye
Grief is not an easy thing
Relentless tears won't dry

    Knowing a love you once shared with someone no longer remains is never the easiest to deal with. I think many have experienced your pain & can relate to your emotions here. Well done, very well expressed & a great flow.

    I wish you were here so I could give you a big hug. I know your pain.

    These feelings are so hard to deal with. The pain is so hard to find relief for. I have been right where you are. The pain doesn't go away Rachel.....instead it will become part of who you are.

    You never have to say goodbye. The ones we love live within us. The tears will always come....with everything you see that reminds you of your loved one. A song, a place, a childs smile. remember I'm here whenever you need me....I love you honey.
    excellent poem. Full of so much sadness.
