You

I couldn't get you off my mind,
I failed no matter how hard I tried,
So I buried you deep inside,
I made a container,
A box of emotion,
With a warning label,
"DO NOT OPEN",
Tied with strings from a
heart that was broken,
Then placed in the bottom
of the deepest hole
With many other memories of old,
It's true somewhere,
I guess I still care,
At least on the surface,
You're no longer there...

hey I think you are still caught up in this love
It's true somewhere,
I guess I still care,
At least on the surface,
You're no longer there...
a reflective write I like it

Tony. I know how hard to let go sometimes but you're taking the steps

Thanks for the share

Powerful madtat, really

'Tied with strings from a
heart that was broken, ...
At least on the surface,
You're no longer there'

Wonderful expressions of what can't be deeply felt at the moment

The deepest love
DO NOT OPEN

Is someone going to find?

Give a chance to some that may be what you want

Its a murderous look
that you may portray

I guess you care

You need
to let go

I'm not sure how people stop caring...maybe they never loved the individual fully really whole heartedly...A person I care for deeply hurts me and I forgive them..I may not want to be around them anymore or have them in my life...but the times and feelings we shared still mean something...I still love them even tho sadly we've both moved on...this has happened multiple times in my life...with family and friends...each time opening and then closing the door...only to open it again the next time..hoping that it will be the last next time...Ty for reading

I think when you have truly loved, even after a bad breakup, after time has mellowed the pain, you have that small glow, that never dies.....great write madtat......Kathy
