Only For A Time

Some day when the pain stops I will be a better person for having loved you. All of me and everything I had was given and for a time you gave of yourself equally. Things just fell apart. It’s no one’s fault. Because we lasted only for a time does make “Us” a mistake. C.S.

Our wounds are often the openings
into the best and most beautiful part of us.
David Richo

Retribution, Justice or Karma

I hope she was worth it. You traded two years of love for a wild weekend with a woman who, in time, will cheat on you just like what you did to me. Retribution, justice or karma, a reckoning will come to cause the payback you owe.  I hope it hurts even more than you hurt me. M.O.

Love dies in many different ways,
and it’s natural for the grass
to seem greener on the other side.
But it’s not a competition;
there’s plenty of pain to go around.
Rob Sheffield

Trampled to Death

You constantly got so jealous it scared me. There was no reason. I was always faithful! Why were you always asking others about me, even my family when I didn’t know it? Why did you doubt me so much? My love did not fade, it was trampled to death by your mistrust. E.D.

If you had stayed,
I wouldn’t have been myself.
You made me hurt inside,
Too weak to even ask for help.
If you had stayed,
I’d have given up my dreams
And been your puppet
While you tugged hard at my strings!
By Dreamer Thinker

A Hazy Sleepwalk of Misery

Finally the realization has come to get on with my life. You’re not coming back. For a year I’ve lived in a daze; one day after another just a hazy sleepwalk of misery. I may not be able to stop loving you but I have to wake up. Somehow, someway I have to move on. S.T.

As of now, I am moving on.
Through and out, this hard time.
The clouds will clear, and the storm will pass.
Things are looking up, as I raise the mast.
Sailing on, and moving out.
From these dark days, I muster all my clout.
I am ready, to start again.
Just to see, where life begins.
Taken from “Moving On” by Cue Ball

Doesn’t Always Last Forever

Children, careers and time teamed up on us and we were too weak as a couple to overcome the effects. Over time we lost each other and as hard as we tried we couldn’t regain the magic we once had. I will always regret learning a forever love doesn’t always last forever. D.E.

Ever has it been
that love knows not
its own depth
until the hour of separation.
Kahlil Gibran

A Yearning Comes Over Me

Some days I’m fine and on others just OK. Then there are days when I’m reminded of you like seeing a couple in love, a song, a movie, a place, or something someone says.  Then a yearning comes over me and I’m reminded how deeply I am still in love with you. C.B.

 Sometimes,
when one person is missing,
the whole world seems depopulated.
Lamartine

Forget and Smile

You said we’d be together again; to give you a few months to get things together. Not even a week later you wouldn’t even speak to me. For weeks I tried again and again to talk to you, but you would never listen, so I finally had to say to my self goodbye to you forever. C.S.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
“Goodbye” By Christina Rossetti
