peace within swells
as I no longer reach for you
when pain is swallowing me whole
and sadness agitates my soul
relief swirls through my being
as I realize it is your love
that I no longer seek
and your adoration
I don't care to keep
though disappointment
burns in the presence of
forced conversation
turning awkward
as realization stirs inside
we have moved backwards
to a coexistence of
strangers upon a city street

Your words always speak so loudly with just a whisper.

now this is hear loud and clear...
The reflections this post strikes my thoughts are.....
Can we disobey our feelings just for politeness sake??
Should we??
good thought COL, good thought. However, sometimes there is the hope that the deep rooted friendship that once existed will reclaim it's role even though the safest thing to do is move on.
Branches blossom on it own when sunshine falls on the right places.
And as a relationship is based on two....we can only count on our own changes and also on our hopes.
You're a lovely thing, i know this because i see sunshine on your branches falling just where it should!
The awkward moment of realization that the love has past.
Painful in many ways.
It takes me back to a time now decades ago when I had to say goodbye to a love that had died.

you ended this so powerfully
like a blow to the stomach
i've been there
perhaps am
and no, i've found you can't really go back to what was before
an uneasy truce seems more likely
I also agree with your comment
Thanks for this

This is really beautiful :)
It's quiet but it makes you listen.
I think you're very clever to write stuff like this.
Although it may hurt, sometimes become the strangers you once were can be a good thing.
I liked this one. Thank you for sharing.
lovely...i am a painter ...and i love to listen artists
Isn't it amazing?! How two people can be so close in one moment of time and then virtual strangers in the next. It's happened to me more times than I care to think about!
This world too small.... to ever fully 'move on'....
sigh.
love this piece.
love it. 100% comprehendable.
silent serene, words were like a breeze same as love, it passes you by, you can feel it but it cannot be held within your grasp. excellent words keep writing.
