It was the type of day made for reticent fun.
Rain was in the forecast and no sign of Sun.
As I looked up in the sky, big drops began to fall.
Picked up the Blackberry Storm, gave my lady a call.

Unfortunately a male voice answered the line.
Now the feeling on my heart is so hard to define.
A very cold chill ran up & back down my spine.
The opposite of sublime described my present frame of mind.

We move forward, drowning in sorrow is now optional.
If there’s a cure for broken heartedness check me in that hospital.
As we know there’s only 1 way to get over this, that’s time.
And we also keep our eyes wide open for that sign.

That 1 telling us it’s okay to go on.
Sometimes we don’t get it for very, very long.
I’m wallowing in the shear agony of deceit.
Pine riding and catching splinters feeling the sharp pain of defeat.

I went for a long walk, crying to unmask my pain.
Fortunately no one could tell because it was pouring down rain.
A good woman is so hard to let go.
I had a bad girl, but brother I just didn’t know.

Now, this isn’t the best look for this once secure fella.
Wow, soaked & walking in the rain with no umbrella.
The perils of trust make us endure so much.
In the breast of contemplation, that unsure first touch.

It was cold the way she did it too, leaving me lone.
Girl had another man answering her cellular phone.
Now I’m prone to madness under the wrong circumstances.
Flailing my arms, jerking my body like I’m doing some Druid dances.

By chance it’s the lonely that never walk by.
Only the couples are what you see when your eyes won’t dry.
Surrounded once by happiness, well at least I thought so.
Thoughts so far from loneliness but I just didn’t know.

You have just broken my heart as I see you walking in the cold rain. In your own words....YOU are a wonderful poet, and you did indeed make me cry

Cest Lest Vie

Enjoyed the story, not the pain that went with it. So true, when we're feeling blue all we see are happy couples all around. Don't know why that is? Look up and show that smiling face to all.

<<<< Squeeeziinnnnggggggggggggggggg

Been in the same place you have been my friend, one thing is certian, time does heal the pain, unfortunately time takes it's time at doing it..

It will pass though, we have to keep believing that a new love is just around the corner, one that will love you for you, and stand by you through thick and thin, I know it sounds like a fairy tale, but if we give up hope then might as well give up on life..

Take care my friend

Time, they say is a great healer, the healing process can teach us so much about ourselves ( when we allow) Not all "bad" experiences are indeed bad experiences. We just have to look for the good amongst the debris....... Failure is the first steps to success. Kimba,although sad, your poem has once again stirred a deep seated emotion within me.

If you ever need to talk...please feel free my friend

wow dude, i feel ur pain bro, hope the world shows you kindness from this day on!!

Dang bro....that about ripped the heart from my chest. Excellent write, sorry ya had to come by way of it so painfully though.

you are Loved....

rest within this Knowing.

blessed be.

Thank you all so much and I really have the strength to get by due to you all. This has been my outlet for many reasons since joining. I had no idea when I joined that I'd meet such fascinating people and wonderful poets. I am astounded daily at the gifts you all give so willingly to help out another in some cases relative stranger.

Peace and Bless you all!!
