“my heart grieves” she says
and i ask
“why does your heart grieve?”
she answered
“because i know that the love
we used to share has died…it seems
all that’s left in its place is the memory
of how it used to be…a memory
of how it used to feel…”
and the only answer i could
give her was my silence
and a guilty stare into the space
past her…but then i took her hand in mine
and felt her fingers in between
the spaces of my own…it didn’t feel the same…
and i said
“indeed…the love we once shared
has died…buried beneath
painful memories and broken promises…”
she looked at me and i looked away
to hide the tears…and the silence
that followed became our last “goodbye”…

Where Is That Woman? (Weekly Challenge)
Where is that woman I used to be
So naive and trusting
Before life happened
Now jaded, shaded, not quite the same
It’s hard to trust when you feel the sting of betrayal
After you realize that not everyone can be trusted
After you’ve been hurt enough times
Now I’m somewhere in between
Still trying to be that one I was before
Still loving deeply, and forever
Forgiving…yet not quite
I surprise myself sometimes
With the thoughts that come
Even the words sometimes that just come out
I wasn’t like that before
I’m homesick for that dumb, naive girl
But not enough to return
It wasn’t safe there
But I’m not quite sure…
Is this better?
The Gold Drachma
The gold drachma with the iron coating- love with betrayal,
Fell into the bare pockets of the lake- my soul.
Searching for it- getting it back,
You won’t find it- its a maze.
It is lost forever- gone, shattered,
In those bare pockets of my soul.
