It’s been thirty years
And it’s been twenty days
And the feelings are somehow the same
It’s as if you weren’t here
And as if you won’t leave
Makes me wonder if you ever came
My mind is still whirling
And my heart has gone blank
The memories have all been erased
Like the scent of the past
The fragrance can’t last
YOU are just my yesterday….
The pain is so deep,
I can’t hardly sleep
Though, I know, that I’ve finally learned….
I won’t do it again…
Look back where I’ve been…
for with fire, you always get burned.

I love these beautiful words of pain and heartbreak. Time does not heal all wounds it only gives us a chance to learn how to live with the painful memories. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

Thank you for your insight. By the way, responses like this… are the cherries on top that we all look for whenever we post things from our hearts!
You made my day!

Pain is not always a fun subject to discuss, and yet, it plays such a huge part in the fabric of our lives. It would behoove us not to examine our pain, confront it, and then release it for good. This was very moving, Diane!
