It’s wake up time once again
As I watch my
Sleepy dreams of
Sugar plum loves and
Fantasies
of forever
Dissipate rapidly
As I’m so rudely woken from
My walking state of REM

Congratulations
I’m no longer asleep and
Oblivious to how much
You don’t want me
How much you don’t
Need me
It took a cold shower of
Your indifference
To finally wake me up

But to give you your due
You tried to tell me
You had nothing to give
You’ve shown me in
So many ways

And silly me
I didn’t see that you
Weren’t Invested
My love has been tested
Stamped defective
And Rejected

Everytime I got close
You put me in my place
You shut me down
Slammed your doors
In my face and
Hung up your
No Soliciting Sign

And me, well
Foolish as usual
Playing
Deaf Dumb and Blind
Ignoring the obvious
Not listening to
What you were
Telling me with every
Cool eyed look of --
Disinterest
Every apathetic touch
Of your hands
Signing across my
Willing body
I…
…Don’t…
…..Care…

I didn’t understand
I didn’t see you
I didn’t hear you
I didn’t want to

I played Helen Keller
‘Cause all I wanted to do
Was
Feel you

But …

…I Hear…
…..You…
…….Now…

Wow.

Excellent write ....

Sometimes listening can deafen all of our senses if it's too painful but, eventually, we hear what we must and somehow find a way to move on

Push's in the big comfy chair, Come here Lovely One,, I think we need to sit and remind each other
just how wonderful we are... I love the every essence of you the air you breathe the sand your feet walk upon,, So I raise my glass and toast to
you,, Phenomenal is the women in you

mmmm, helen keller

I can totally see you reciting this write Ms. Wiz.

Bold and filled with emotion.

So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired

Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine

No more pain (no more pain)
No more pain (no more pain)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Noone's gonna make me hurt again

Why'd I play the fool
Go through ups and downs
Knowing all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But that was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more game
messin with my mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Nooone's gonna make me hurt again
No more tears (no more
tears, I'm tired of cryin
everynight)
No more fears (no more
fears, I really don't
wanna cry)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my mind

Uh, it feel so good
When you let go
Avoid these drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So find your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the
story ends for me
But I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whether we win or loose

And WE choose to win (Right my friend???? Handing pk a lovely glass of wine )

Really great poem. It's too bad some of the best poems are spawned from so much pain. You clearly deserve better.

drinking the wine MsWiz, enjoying the view, we will be just fine. Thanks, lovely woman.

This was beautiful

Mmmmmmmmmmm Wine and good friends sittin in the Big, Really Big comfy chair,,,

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Yes,,Moves comfy chair over and pushes in Sectional Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thats the ticket,,,

TY ((( H )))))

Ploooppppsss little butt on the comfyyyyyyyy sofa
Sheshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that sure was heavy,, Now where's the Wine

Ohhhhh dear one

I so love the Maya Angelou quote "when people show you who they are believe them ... the first time"

And yet we so often make excuses for the behaviour of others... willing things to be different when they are not ...

I so remember the cold stare and the unfeeling hands ... feeling lost and trapped in a marriage that had no soul ...

I felt your emotion pour through the words and my heart cries with yours ...

I've just returned from a place where a touch carries a thousand words and each one says 'I love you' ...

Settle for nothing less for you are magnificent!

No one is wiser than Maya, that's for certain LovelyGurl. How wonderful that you have found a place of love! Sit in the sectional with us ((shoving Henry over)) have some wine and share your joy with us!!! (((((GURL)))))
