Haven't written in years..

[AleksMommy]

Haven't written in years. My Ex-husband would go through my personal writings, and that killed the experience for me. But I felt the urge to write tonight. So I did. First poem in 2 years or more.





I’m numb from the coldness
Being burned by his golden ring
I never really liked gold

It’s not right
I don’t care
I love you

What would it take
To have you as my own
To have and to hold

It’s not him
He’s not bad
But he’ll never be you

You say you love me now
Then how can you walk away
Eighteen months and not counting

He means nothing
He’s a pawn
Something to try to replace you

Irreplaceable
He’ll never be you
No one will ever be you

Love and hate
Four letter words
They rip my heart apart

It’s worth it
A thousand wounds
For three words

No one else
Will ever be
You

welcome to the forum, Aleksmommy.

it's good to feel that urge to write again, isn't it? and how cool that you decided the forum was the place to share an intimate write. please feel free to read and comment on the works of other writers here - all opinions are valid, honesty is valued, suggestions mulled over though not always followed as any changes must feel right to the author before implemented.

your own piece will no doubt allow many to instantly identify/engage with as readers, even if the subject matter might alienate the few. the hurt does come through strongly.

please, keep writing!
