My heart is still aching, I don’t know what to write.
C D
Does it still exist? Is there anything left inside?

I can’t feel it beating, it used to beat like a drum.

All I can say is now, it doesn’t want to run.
Bedroom antics may have been the cause, I was simply far too blind.
To notice you slip away, was you only trying to hide?
But now our love is stronger, it’s all up to me they say.
To forgive you and my self, but I’m stuck in yesterday.
I know I must have hurt you, for you to do the things you’ve done.
But instead of holding you real close, I simply let you run.
The love I feel for you, is something I can’t hide.
It’s high up above the clouds, where angels reside.
Now that we are parted, although only for a while.
Hearing you when you call me, always makes me smile.
Forgiveness is in my soul, but torments in my mind.
How do I forgive you darling, when there’s torture in my eyes.
The only thing that keeps me going, is you and the kids.
I’m going to pin that thought promptly, to the back of my eye lids.
I’ve jump started my heart again, solely for you.
But please don’t ever shake it, coz it’s only held with glue.
I know that you can feel me, from across the shores.
When I wake up in the mornings, it is you that I adore.
I feel our love is beautiful, like a flower in full bloom.
Worry not my darling, I’ll be coming home real soon.
I’ll be coming home real soon, to oo ooo sooth you.
By Stuart Otway-Smith
I miss you all my love, kiss our children for me and hug baby.

Very touching.
Anyone who can put it out there that way can surely work over, up, around or under any problems that come up, which hey, being human, ALWAYS come up!
All the best…

I am in the process of creating this into a proper song via Garage Band, once recorded I’ll post it for you all to listen to.
Thanks for your comment =)
Wow beautiful! 🙂
Thank you I’m amazed at the response and truly grateful.
Thanks I’m shocked by the kind comments.
such an amazing poem. Just. Wow! my favorites in particular are the first and second to last stanza. Brilliance!
The use of guitar chords looked promising. A lushly sentimental fantasy – for sweet tooths and the romantically inclined.
Thanks for your comment however this is based on truth and facts of my current situation and not fantasy 🙂
Love it. Very inventive structure.
Thank you kindly.
Very creative structure! Love how you incorporated the notes into the poem!
Wow, thanks, amazing the response this has had, I still blush every compliment.
1st time stopping by and I respect your artistry. Congratulations on almost meeting your 90-day goal as well!
