sad.
alone.
confused.
brokenhearted.
doubting myself.
wondering how this happened.
wishing that someone would just understand.
crying.
unable to sleep.
talking to myself.
dreaming about her constantly.
afraid of spending the rest of my life alone.
incapable of getting anyone to comprehend what I’m going through.
broken.
so annoyed.
always longing for her.
missing the sound of her voice.
angry that she won’t just talk to me.
blaming myself for ruining the perfect future I had planned.
pathetic.
stubborn to a fault.
hoping for another miracle.
not giving up on what I know is right.
a hopeless romantic who refuses to let go of perfection.
hurt.
cursing the fates.
looking for the answers.
praying for another chance
dreading spending the holidays alone again.
strong.
ready to be loved.
trying to move forward.
never going to forget about her.
confident that I will see her smiling face again.
here.
patiently waiting.
never going to forget our love.
writing because that’s my strongest coping skill.
going to survive.
Austin.
I hesitate to “like” because it seems that there is something major going on in your heart and soul. *hugs*
Just the same old battle for my heart that remains across the Atlantic…
*hugs* My tenderhearted writer 🙂
So many hugs for the sad guy in the toga…
Oh Austin! ((( hugs)))
Thanks.
Holidays are the worst when we’re missing someone. I remember a character in “Jerry Maguire” who said the holidays made her feel more divorced.
Do something special for yourself and keep writing.
Something happened last Thanksgiving that is making this one exponentially more difficult…
Don’t let that ruin all your Thanksgivings going forward. Make peace with it.
I am trying. This poem was a step towards that…
So sorry 😦 HUG
I’m really collecting the hugs. I should write sad poems more often…
Like seems so trite here – this is heartfelt and raw and saw and beautiful. You’re a great dude – that’s easy to see. Keep moving forward, man.
Thanks, Lisa. It was something I needed to get out of my head. It’s so crowded up there right now…
Pain and truth in poetry. Strength and peace.
I could use those now…
i’m sorry and believe it or not, this too shall pass.
Do you really think so? I’m not getting over The Sweet Irish Girl. It’s draining me…
Life is a miracle,you will find yours!
But what if you’ve already found your miracle and now she won’t speak to you?
You need to give it time. You need to let all the forces in the world to intervene and let it happen. If she’s destined to you,she surely will come. If she isn’t,maybe she lost a jewel. You need to have a positive thinking. I know it hurts but you need to wait. You need to give it time and let everything happen in this own pace and not be sad about it. Keep smiling and be positive. Automatically everything great will happen to you and you have no idea how much you will rejoice life. Trust me on this.
We shall see…
Trust me on this,Austin. Good things and times are on their way.
Okay. I’m trusting you…
I hope I won’t let you down. Go chase the sunset.
I’m hoping for you ❤
What is life without hope?
When all else fails, remember: You can always focus on taking revenge against the universe.
Love never finds you when you seek revenge. I think I read that in a fortune cookie…
Nonsense. Everyone wants to hate on hate, completely ignoring the hypocrisy of it. I can very easily love people and still hate the universe. And I shall!
Like the way the darkness and sadness pours out. If this is true writing the pain away is a good day to heal.
Yes, it is true. My heart doesn’t lie…
What you seek isn’t out there, in anyone else, in a relationship, in love. It’s inside you. If you find that, everything else will fall into place. (Fortune cookie-ish but it’s actually true.)
Thanks, Tara. I will try to follow this advice. 🙂
I love how raw and honest this post is, Austin. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us. I wish I could take away your pain, or at least some of it. You are most definitely strong and brave and resilient and you are doing an amazing job of coping. I am here for you, my friend.
Thanks, Abbie. I thought you might enjoy this one. Thanks for being there for me, too…
That’s what friends are for 😊
This is what I’ve been told. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Thanks!
