Poem: Just Words

 Just Words

Loving and Losing
Changes, beginnings
Sighing and crying,
Leaving and endings

Deceptions, forgiveness,
Lying, betraying,
Trusting, Not trusting
Not sleeping, still praying

Tossing and turning
 Hoping, despairing
 Confusions...Not knowing
 Illusions... still caring

Wondering and trying,
Wanting and waiting
 Sparring, and scarring,
 With constant berating

The End Of A Day

The end of a day~
the end of our time~
the slipping away~
the leaving behind...

The loose ends untied,
all tattered and frayed;
uncertainty builds,
as trust is betrayed.

Holding on tight,
but floundering, still;
not wanting to know
the sorrow I feel.

The end of our time
at the end of this day~
the leaving behind~
the slipping away...
