The lonely place

~ ~M

There’s a lonely place
where you exist
I try to forget you
yet the memories persist

You were once my strength
you anchored my soul
but after everything you said
it all finally took its toll

I remember sinking to my knees
in painful defeat
my perfect image of you
at last shattered complete

I wanted to hold onto the good
but the good wouldn’t stay
and looking back
I’m relieved you went away

      1. Welcome 🤗

        True that. The heart is a sensitive thing. We can learn from our experiences, tweak ourselves a bit, grow and move on…hopefully…😁

    1. Thank you for your kind words, Mthobisi. We have to take the good along with the bad in life always learning and growing as we go. ❤️

    1. Thank you… sometimes I just wish I could forget the parts of my life that have deeply hurt me. But then again, if I forgot all the bad stuff, I wouldn’t realize how blessed I am for the life I have now.
