After All

After all's been said and done,
After wrong you've caused and said.
You will go away - I'll stay behind,
We have nothing else to say.

After all's been said and done,
And the truth has surfaced thus,
You're not brave enough to say good-bye,
But there's nothing else to say.

After all's been said and done,
Broken heart can't be remade.
Nothing's left of all good love of ours,
Of those things we've left unsaid.

After all's been said and done
Only smile is left of pain.
Sadness thus invades my broken heart,
This is all I have to say.

After all's been said and done
Love is gone - see empty space.
Our love is gone for good, alas,
What is there for us to say?!
There is nothing else to say.

You're so cute, dear, I love your comments very much. And they are always to the point. You should be a very nice young lady, in addition to being so beautiful. Thank you.

after all, it's truly remarkable that some of the best poetry comes from love lost...hardly seems fair but 'tis true. well done. ;-)

The opening stanza said all what I imagine we have all felt at sometime in life....well worded Marikia......you set the stage early and then confirmed the journey travelled.
The relationship that caused me so much pain, was giving three adults so much fun yesterday...sun at the end of a dark period.
Glad I can smile...it's the only way, else we could turn bitter and learn nothing.
Niah yay cheering
