(Poem) The Letter

The words lit up the pages in my hands.
It was a heart and soul in writing.
Such emotion had been absent from me for some time.
My heart moved as my eyes absorbed each word.

The words I had read were quite a surprise.
I didn’t expect anything of the sort.
I reread each line to get the feelings over and over.
My heart ached as I thought of reality, and of life.

The future still stood unmoved by the letter,
neither my actions or the words could decide for me.
Feelings I have and had change over time, it seems.
My heart beats are all I hear in the night as the words run through my mind.

What do I do now?
Where do I go?
The letter seemed to change me, just like it always does.

(Poem) Everything Reminds Me…

How the heart retains such emotion
to feel things even after such a time…

Even an attempt at getting over
the huge barrier of feelings is such a task…

Something always there to remind me
the way I feel about you…

At what cost would it take
to turn back time and start again?

Such a fantasy, the thoughts
of getting a do-over…

But is it?
