Sand crystals falling down
between my fingers onto the ocean floor,
Reminding me of my shattered dreams
that drifted out the back door.
I overheard a conversation
between two voices of my best friends,
Talking romantically of a relationship of both
and for me it’s where it all ends.
She, he, and I were together
all through our school years and our daily lives,
And on the last day of our senior year
is where my love for her took a very deep dive.
I know she had to make a choice between us
because we each thought we were her best,
We competed for her love in everything we did
that everyday became for me a test.
I don’t have the heart to tell her that her new boyfriend
has done wrong and one day she will know,
So I will drift away like the sand I hold on my palms
as I let the wind take it as I see the crystals blow.
Loosing her to a my best friend is no shame
except that I know my temptation for her will remain,
And every time he kisses her besides the other girls too
and not telling her one day will bring her pain.
My bags are packed and I will leave tonight
like a coward in the dark and a happy card I will leave behind,
And it will read like this,” Sorry I had to leave without a hug or a kiss,
but if you ever need me you know where my heart to find.”
I will take a picture of all three of us as little kids
playing together at the beach in the sand,
And I hope that my friends will forgive me for skipping out
and maybe one day they will understand.

The last 6 lines of this concude it so well respecting her choice, holding no hard feelings against our friend ,being man enough to distance yourself but letting her know that one day if she needs you, you will return :))

You really understand my intentions on this poem very well, it was a message to all the abusers that make choices in a negative way and hurt the person they love the most. Of course it says a lot about a man, just as you stated, your interpretations of this poem are well said, thank you so much for really getting into it, and of course for the nice time spent visiting and reading.

Thank you for the comments that inspire me to continue writing and expressing my feeling of things long past. However, bringing those thoughts to life again welcomes the healings that were once pack away and waiting for the right time to face the facts.

Wow, you always have such kind words to really inspire people like myself. I really enjoy writing but I hold back a lot of it because there are so many wonderful writers like yourself and people want to read yours including the great works of others as yourself. I realize that we need to let others put there works in, so I calm down for a while and then the itching on my fingers can’t wait and carry on. Thank you again, and bless you for being just you, drop in anytime, I appreciate it.

As the saying goes,, If you love them let them go.. I never wanted too have too feel that feeling,, but did,, this poem expresses that,,you did the right thing, If it was meant to be she will come back as the rest of the saying goes,, its painful at the time when our hearts are so wrapped into the feeling, and our senses say something is wrong,, but you did the right thing,, she will learn hopefully he is worthy,, and if not,,she will ponder on who was,, if it was you she will come back two fold in love and devotion,, it will then be pure bliss,,, well written,, felt it,, been there done that,, I hope your heart has heeled and you have moved on,, if this is recent especially.. all my love , this was a wonderful read,, linmarie

There are things in life that may be hidden away in the back of our minds and we make believe that they are lost for ever, however; as time continues to run on the clock incidents that are aroused may come as sudden as rain on a sunny day. Sadness is ignited as an old flame continues to burn the skin and the pain becomes twofold. These memories are old and like nightmares that haunt until we take our last breath. I thank you greatly for taking time to read such detailed poetry and for commenting from your heart. Your heart is soft and kind, your wisdom tells so much about your character, and your eyes see far from where they perch. I thank thee, for lending me your ears to hear stories in forms of poems, and for having the patience to express the knowledge that your wisdom has brought. I shall drop a coin into the wishing well, so that you can wish what your heart desires, so that my thankful thoughts can be recieved.
