Fading Away. Poem by Fay Slimm

Fading Away.

Rating: 5.0


We had reached
such high
romantic places.
But pressures
of life meant
we couldn't make it.

And from hearing
your voice,
every day
I now
have to bear
lonliness bravely.

The thoughts of you
always within
my mind
Are fading,
along with your smile
I find.

I cannot erase
you though
from my heart,
Nor do I want to,
and that's
the hard part.

What reaches
the soul stays there,
it seems.
Our love
will forever
colour my dreams.

While we had time
our star
burned so brightly.
It will take
light years
to vanish outright.

, Love is hurtful, love is pain, love can drive a man insane! promised, practiced in his mind, not like a clock you can unwind! sprung, for life, and promised to, a heart, of truly, but a few those words (I do) say it all, the smallest sentence, ! believe me ! its true

Fay, this is a sad poem where the words once said it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Top marks and thanks for sharing this with us my friend. Hugs David

Fay, what a beautiful poem, hauntingly beautiful like a freshly mown graveyard with flowers everywhere! my two favorite lines... What reaches the soul stays there, it seems. like an artist you have painted these words While we had time our star burned so brightly. this line is the most haunting...ia really interesting angle.... that love fading, falling, and burning out is about choices made with our time? most poems would have 'While we had our time' as though love coming and going is just fate and we just ride along. looking forward to reading more of your poems!
