Reaching

by pinkytoria   Dec 21, 2005


I reached out for your hand
You didn't seem to care;
You can only reach so far
When no one else is there.

Others also reached for you
Hoping to make you see;
That we're just as important
As she will ever be.

We wish we could reach further
But we are only so strong;
We hoped your eyes would open
So that you'd see you're wrong.

It hurts to have to reach far
When you once were so near;
It's hard shouting out for you
With our voices you don't hear.

We wish you'd extend your hand
And sense the friendship there;
Knowing what our memories mean
Showing us you still care.

We realize you don't reach back
Instead her hands with yours;
You can't handle both the worlds
So you close common doors.

We're done reaching for the past
You are now on your own;
We hope she is all worth it,
Without her you're alone.

    I acutually said 'wow' out loud at this...FOr me it would be 'Instead his hands with yours' Just to think of her hands, the hands i loved and reached for so much r with someone elses KILLS--She's always coming back though missing me(which is clear in my poems) but to look upon her or to feel her in my arms now just isnt the same cuz we cant be together--I wish she was only MINE!!--we cant be cuz of r faiths which breaks my heart--
    Whoa, i just read the last part...

    Its getting to the point where we've decided to stop reaching for what we had in the past cuz everytime we do the realization that it will never last is so heavy and strong--it makes the pain hurt so much more--But it doest bring me to tears anymore cuz its happened over and over again--but it eats inside and is a thought I dread and Hate to think of--the feeling of great loss is what I feel--a loss of words and warmth--like how a Storm steals away the touch of sunlight--My Heart says REach but my logic and everything else says to abondon that thought--Sometimes what your heart tells you is not worth following or listening to cuz it only brings you pain--i think all i need is a new love--Somehow it makes you forget what you loved so much in the love you lost and see the beauty and what is better in the new eyes you've fallen in love with--but its hard to be patient really--Its hard to be confident and upbeat alone--especially when so many people around you have love--I guess you have to say to yourself there will be a right time, its just not now--And the love to come will be everything you wished for and missed all those years in wonder of where your love was--Its something to hope for and invest a good feeling in--It means everything to me--
    Whoa, kinda got lost in those thoughts--I guess its cuz i believe in it so much--I hope i didnt bore you--THanks so much for the Poem--It let me discover these thoughts and feelings inside--thats what there made for right?? I hope to read more!!
