Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Emotions: 64 of 266

Up and down these emotions of mine One day wrecked the next I'm fine. Get through the day I hope that tomorrow will bring a day without any sorrow. Why am I sad? No real reason why I feel so unhappy and just want to cry I put on a brave face for the world to see and try not to feel sorry for poor little me
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Remembering love: 109 of 189

Remember the hope in our future The innocence of a young bride We loved you and I We made children Then the loneliness of an absent husband My life was full except for you You chose a different life and you missed so much You didn't seem to know any better But now you do The love we shared withered and died Not what I wanted...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Spiritual: 395 of 596

Where do I go from here? Now I have found the answer The emptiness inside me filled But still found wanting A love that will not Let me go A father and His child So close and yet So far away A life chosen A path taken I have soared on eagles wings And sunk to the depths of despair I will always cling to you But you give me f...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Saying goodbye: 315 of 419

How could we say goodbye, when we never said hello? I never really knew you, though I sensed your spirit deep within. And as I wrestled with my conscience, feeling love and anger, I kept my secret that was to become a sin. Days went by, I cried out to you and to the God I never knew. Each passing hour, I felt you near but I ...

Head please leave me alone I don't want to think today I said "Head just leave me alone!" Please just go away. The thoughts that you give me Go round and round I feel like I'm screaming Without making a sound.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Growing up: 79 of 90

Watching you as you started to turn from a girl to a woman. I felt helpless. I was. I couldn't and still can't protect you from what i think might hurt you. You are so beautiful but vulnerable and yet so strong. Like me in so many ways but my traits I wish you hadn't got! You place your self esteem in needing to be loved. Lo...
