Tired Life

I no longer know myself,
the person who I am,
even though in excellent health,
at times wish could end this life span,

Still carrying loves hurt,
dreams surround this soul,
did I put too much of me, in this romantic spurt,
without you, I no longer feel am whole,

I have tried to be positive and strong,
knowing your no longer there,
I put all of me in you, so I could belong,
all I have is memories now alone to share,

Your voice upon my answer phone,
of messages gone by,
wishing I could have you home,
knowing all is gone, truly makes me sigh,

Those words of truth you said,
did you come to me, to do an agenda check,
words have seriously messed my head,
leaving me sound in body but a mental wreck,

The sun is now creeping in,
bringing warmth and life anew,
charred love burns within,
smouldering ashes, still quite a few,

Can I ever get back on track,
return myself back to me,
conviction in self is what I lack,
when hearts break one is free, the other left to be,

If only you could see,
how tired my life has become,
how much hurt you left, so you could be free,
there is nothing more I can say or be done.

About this poem:
At times the loss of love sort of overwhelms me and thoughts go back to what I thought was happy times, maybe I was the one who cared too much..so find it hard to really say goodbye.

Stedan,when things go wrong it is a bitter pill for sure. But to dewll in the past is the death we choose for our self. Be greatfull for the love no matter how short lived and move forward in life as you will soon find another or maybe she will find you.
