Everything Will Be Ok

by Paul Gondwe   May 6, 2012


Yesterday, I thought I heard her cries,
they echoed in my head
like she was in front of me

No doubt what I did was dumb,
I have to be a man and live with
my choices,

Now, I sit all day and think about
the love that could have been,
the happiness we were to share with
each other

Still, that will never be, her love
slowly fades to oblivion as I write
trying to comfort my mind, telling it
everything is going to be OK

    Not sure what you did to lose this love, or even if it was completely your fault, the poem insinuates it is. We all have to live with our choices, but the beautiful thing is we can learn from them too.

    WOW, this is so sad and I can totally see your emotions. Sometimes people make mistakes and we just have to deal with them the best way we can. This honestly made me want to cry because I can relate to it so well. Amazing write,

    "Yesterday, I thought I heard her cries,
    they echoed in my head"
    ---I'm fond of the start. It has a restless vibe to it and 'yesterday' was nicely placed here, gave the persona depth that he has been feeling like this for quite some time now.
    "I have to be a man and live with
    my choices,"
    ---Choices, decisions.. Most of the time, we only have one and we must decide well and think about it before choosing, because we cannot go back and redo our actions to prevent mistakes.
    "Now, I sit all day and think about
    the love that could have been,"
    ---I like the little story this has. The yesterday to now, and retaining the restless vibe and sad tone to it.
    The ending lines were my favorite. I love the word 'oblivion' and how you placed it. Somehow, I was also comforted.

    Once the choice has been made, we have to
    learn to live with it. Life goes on no matter
    what and yes it is going to be alright in time
