She came back expecting gratitude
And an ear that listens
But after fifteen years in solitude
This heart, have learned its lesson
In solitude Time doesn’t fly
And days amount to years
Hearts Stung once twice shy
So excuse my fears
Today I stand corrected
Feelings, can’t be awoken
Nor can be resurrected
When the heart is broken
I don’t mean to condescend
But I still worry and care
About that long lost friend
Who you once were
You share her smile her scent
Her eyes her name
Yet this heart that came and went
Is not the same
Yes I am changed I know
Outside my years are showing
And the silence that lurks below
Keeps growing and growing
I forgave but can’t forget
And my wounds I’ve mended
No remorse and no regret
And, I have repented
My silence is not to avenge
And I went on forth
Living is the utmost revenge
And now I know my worth
An unforgivable crime
And nothing can be worse
Than stealing someone’s time
For time you can’t reimburse

Oh wow! Totally understand this! You can’t resurrect I know this for sure!
One thing I have learnEd was that I gave what I thought were my best years but I was wrong these are my best years! Full of wisdom and experience that in my younger years I was too busy to stop and realize! Here’s to new beginnings! I’m all for and about moving on and taking what is worthy of taking with me and letting the rest go! 😄 this is purely my experience of course! 😄I liked this

Oh Fais, this one is so full of heart – which is ironic as it is about having a wall up around the heart! I think many people can identify with being scared to give oneself to another person emotionally. A great poem here!

I can relate to this. I love the last line. And it is true. People steal years of your time for their own selfish purposes. They manipulate you and tease you.
They make promises they never had the capacity or intention to keep.
And when it is finally over, it leaves you with pain and years of lost time that can never be recovered. It is a crime with no one held accountable for it. So sad.
