What is darkness without light?
Without comparison what shines bright?
So to what do compare my epiphany tonight?
To learn that you’re the shadow of light,
That you provide the ideal sight,
For what it is to cry and fight,
But also say i love you every night.
The highs were high
The lows were low
And all the time we learned to grow
To grow from the shambles and pain and despair
To start anew, despite previous repairs
To learn to forgive and try not to care
While seeds of distrust were always sown there.
The unfortunate thing about breaking the loop
Is the fact there is always a swoop
Of doubt or pain or longing
To reclaim that sense of belonging
That was sacrificed by previous deeds
Over and over, or so it seems
So what is the purpose to write such a poem,
To capture my feelings so others might know them.
Maybe this is fiction without any truth
All rudimentary and a little uncouth
But this was not to lead you astray
Just to share a realization i made today.

WELCOME LAX ~ Thanks for an excellent first poem. ~ elegant in style and confessional in content. This is something we can all relate to thanks for sharing. I know you will find it cathartic as I have found it helpful. For me its is always hard to se my Ex (my Soul Mate) in the arms of another ~ but in my experience the sincere love of a new lady can be very healing. Please check my poems ~ Yours BRIAN
