    River of tears

    This time I know that I crossed a line.
    And just paid no heed to the warning signs.
    The feelings within me, there all of my life.
    As I held them in they cut like a knife.

    I need to release what’s been trapped there inside.
    Out into the day and no longer hide.
    It has all been my fault, of this I do know.
    For just not allowing, my true self to show.

    You will not accept my words of remorse.
    You can’t understand I must follow this course.
    Your beauty and love kept me inside my shell.
    Along with the joy, I was living in hell.

    My life of denial has come to an end.
    When all’s said and done, can we still be friends?
    And if you must hate me after all of those years.
    I’ll still move forward in a river of tears.

    I started by reading the poem that showed up as the most recent. Loving it, I went on to read others. Once again, your poetry really captures so much of someone's deep inner feelings that there is a sense of connection. As I read this, it makes me wonder more about the story that lies behind such beautiful, painful poetry. Keep up the great work!

    Thank you for the compliment. The story behind the words is not a pretty one. Yet I find it is the only subject I can truly truthfully write about.

    it is rare that relationships can withstand true and complete honesty.....sometimes it is better to remain silent and retian a friendship than to speak your mind and give up years of memories

    We all have times when we hide who we really are because it's less hard to show the world what they want to see instead of letting them see and deal with what is real and true about us.
