My "Dido" style ditty... still unfinished...


Drift



Yes it's true I still sleep on the couch
In preference to a big old empty bed
But I don't cry now when I listen to the old songs
What could have been no longer rules my head

I can appreciate a sunset without yearning
For someone to hold my hand apon the cliffs
And there is no empty pining in my belly
No particular old haunt when my mind drifts

There's no-one in mind when Valentines are mentioned
On my horizon there's no one and only
I've finally found the peace within my solitude
I found the difference between alone and lonely

Pheonix, my poet friend.
I sense a deep sadness, you will find what you wish for.
A lovely moving prose.
Appluase.
I don't think it is unfinished, but revisit my poems regularly.

"I found the difference between alone and lonely"

Mmmm, great line, and quite a good place to be as well!

Hi Purp...

It's true...the sooner one stops yearning for what once was,
the easier it is to look optimistically to the future...

good philisophical write by a very talented writer

Each small step brings one closer to healing. A poem I suspect every one of us relates to.
