The Song That Wasn’t
I started hearing the poems while I slept … I’d be dreaming and the words would pop into my head. This one came to me in the form of a song. I got up to write the words … but then realized that there was no way for me to capture the music that fell underneath the words. So half the meaning of the song is lost forever. This is why I’ve titled the poem The Song That Wasn’t ~ January 16, 2008
I’m frozen inside
can’t stand on my own.
Don’t know which path to choose,
which direction leads to home.Confusion abounds
I just don’t know what to do
My life can’t go on
I’m so lost without you.Each day I search, to find who I am
What used to be US – that’s all gone.
It’s time to move on, but I can’t
I’m afraid, now I’m all alone.
You’ll notice a recurring theme in these first poems .. they were written over the past two years in moments of anger or anguish … from a grieving heart. They don’t reflect how I’m feeling at the moment … so don’t worry! This poem has never made it to the web site … and there are two others that will follow over the next two weeks .. from that very dark time of my life. But they’re raw emotion and they need to be included in the collection.
