ENDLESS PATHS

how can something so perfect

be so terribly wrong

we knew before this ever started

yet I opened my heart right up

and you ran straight in

I offered you my body and soul, you took it

we've gotten in way too deep

what we have together I need

yet love will never run its true course



you will never grow tired of me

for soon I shall be gone

it's the only way

baby we already knew there was no other end

I breath, every breathe with you

I hurt, when you feel pain

I'm happy, when you are happy

I felt the sting of your every tear

but alas everything good does come to an end



it's time for us to part

our lives are an endless path

I'll forever cherish the day ours crossed and became one

secretly I'll wrap all our memories in my heart

there safe we'll never really be apart

only you and I will ever know what was lost

forever, I will love you so

when you see me on the street don't stop me

no I could never be that strong



walk on by, don't hesitate the pain would be too great

pain for what could of been

pain of not having you

missing your touch, your laughter, all of you

just show me that smile I love so dearly

perhaps a slight nod, to let me know you too think of me

don't look in my eyes, for they will surely show my anguish

just walk on by, and know I loved you yesterday

I love you today, and all of my tomorrows

Jo-anne, I have never been in a situation like yours with this poem, but after reading this, I can see exactly how you feel. You certainly have a way of bringing life to LIFE. Keep up the writing. Linda

I think you ended the poem really effectively...a sense of bittersweet feelings....sadly beautiful. Yes...we all lose love at some points of our lives...and we live on...remembering it. Do read my 'Remembering You' this poem reminds me of that poem of mine. Smilesz.

This is a very good poem but kind of sad too. You have a good attitude about losing a great love. Thanks for sharing it.
