Moving On Poems - Page 2

Even if it's hard for me
To let you free
I'll do it for you
So that you'll not be lonely

It may take me a river of tears
For you to be happy, I'll bear
Just don't you glance again to me
'Cause I may not set you free

I'll be keeping my love for you
To the deepest part of me
I will not forget what we've shared
Because that's the only treasure I'll keep

But when the time comes
You want to be with me
I'll accept you whole heartedly
But for now I am setting you free

There is a time to love
And a time to forget
A time to get rid of
And a time to close set

Say goodbye but then say hello
Forget but never regret
Pick up the broken pieces but leave them unset
Feel the pain but let it go
Take a new step and a new path will grow

I've loved
I've lost
I've hated
And I've found

My world goes round and round
But I don't hold on to what has passed
It's better to just enjoy it while it lasts
I just let the memories become unwound

I know what I've done and whom I've loved
I know who I am and what I've become
I'm glad I met you and all those moments we shared
But they're memories now that we both share.

I used to love you,
Gently, carefully...
As I was afraid of falling too deep.

I used to love you,
Silently, hopelessly...
Through endless tests of disappointments and jealousy.

I used to love you,
Sincerely, passionately...
With all of my heart and all of my being.

I used to love you,
And I hope one day you'll find someone
Who will love you as much as I used to.

The earth spins like a rolling ball.
Stars shine bright then fade away.
Darkness melts and turns to light.
The sunrise starts another day.
The sun dips slowly into the sea.
The moon will wax and wane.
The sea will rise and fall with tides.
And you will love again.

Nothing ever stays the same.
Mountains change with time.
Rivers flow and lakes run dry.
Salty tears will flood the eye.
Healing follows after pain.
A crush of grape becomes fine wine.
And you will love again.
Yes! You will love again.

The intentions are real
But the truth is untold,
Patiently awaiting the lies to unfold.
Her heart shatters with the thought of his touch.
How could she let him control her this much?
She holds on to a memory of how it used to be.
Tempted by hatred, will she always grieve
For that man, just a child inside.
He'll always have a pull on her soul
And a place to reside.
She says that it is over
That this is really it this time.
Her life is torn apart and
Her heart is in a bind.
Patiently waiting for those feelings to fade away,
It makes it harder when he crosses her mind every day.
His sarcasm breaks the silence.
Her heart follows it to the floor.
Her body feels overwhelmed
When he walks through the door.
She shouldn't still feel this way.
She shouldn't still care.
After all those times she needed him
Why wasn't he ever there?
But she is the one who called it off,
The relationship made of glass,
As fragile as a porcelain doll.
Was it really meant to last?!

You were like a shining light
Into the darkness of my life
I was taken back by the way you smiled
I knew from the start you'd always have my heart.

We spent every day like it was the last
You made me see things differently, with meaning
When I was scared you were there for me
Wiping away my tears

You held my fragile heart in your hands
For what seemed like forever
We grew apart when you left
Never an intention

When you returned home
I saw that my sun had died
It was left somewhere out in the sand
In that barren land

I forgive you for breaking my heart
For crumbling it into dust
For the last time we had somehow lost our trust
My sun was gone forever, I see that now

I forgive you for everything, my love
Although I shouldn't
I forgive you for things
I thought I couldn't

Thank you for showing me
Even for a short while
That a single smile
Can change your life

I still remember the moment we met
The time we shared, I'll never regret
That summer in the sun we spent together
I can only hope you'll always remember
In spite of our love, I am painfully aware
That you're far gone and no longer there
Often I don't know what to do
So many nights I cried over you
To me it may not feel right
But at the end of the tunnel there is no light
You pushed and guided me to achieve
But in the end you'd just leave
I sit there and wonder what went wrong
But I've got my friends to keep me strong
If you ever wonder why we're through
Just look in the mirror, because it's all on you
What a blessing to have my mind back
But honesty, you'll always lack
So with that, I'll forget the pain
You go ahead and watch me make myself a name
I spend most of my time thinking of you
Reminiscing of the things we said we'd do
The future we planned had so much in store
Now the thought of it rots me to the core
I gave you everything and now I can see
The best I can give you is freedom from me
It seems now I'll change my fate
For you, I'll no longer wait
Why should I hang on to the one who doesn't care
I now have my own life to spare
I'll use all the strength I have left within
I'll push myself to move forward to the new life I must begin
All the stress you put me through
I would still never wish on you
You always walked on me like a rug on the floor
Maybe I should be grateful you walked out that door
That door that will be closed, will be locked, will be open no more
Memories engraved in my heart
I wish you luck with your brand new start

I don't love you,
But I also don't hate you.

I don't want to think about you,
But my mind finds its way to you.

I don't want to talk to you,
But I wait for your call.

I don't want to cry,
But the pain is intense.

I want to forget and move on,
But my being is craving for you.

I don't want to see you,
But your perfect shadow haunts me.

I want to hold you close to me,
But I remember you're gone.

I can take it all,
But I'm only human.

You have to be hurt to feel pain
You have to feel dryness to feel rain
You have to walk to be able to run
You have to feel rain to feel sun
You have to dance to be able to stop
You have to stand to be able to drop
You have to be born to be able to grow
You have to have water to have snow
You have to be on the ground to go above
You have to feel hate to be able to feel love.

Love is a mystery never to be solved.
When two people have history
and are so involved,
how do you save it
when it all goes wrong?
Is it meant to be?
Will it end suddenly?
No one knows,
only time can tell
if you will stay
and things will go well,
but don't get mad
or even be sad
because if he's not the one,
you will find him
because we all have someone.

Once when I looked at you
time stood still.
I could hear my heart sigh,
this love is real.
If only we had known what once was so real,
would today be gone.
Moments of joy and happiness slowly
began to fade, memories of only anger
and pain made my heart grow afraid.
How could love so strong leave two
hearts that simply don't belong.
So sure this love was forever, now
only wishing this nightmare soon to be
over.
Only a short time has passed since
our hearts met last,
leaving behind only a painful past.
With nothing left to say, all I can
do is pray that one day I'll get the
chance to say, the love we once shared
was REAL...

Only seconds
to fall in love,
to be immersed,
to want someone.

Only seconds
to hold a hand,
to be taken away
to an exhilarating land.

Only seconds
to kiss their lips,
to be elated,
to be in bliss.

Only seconds
to fall for a friend...

But only seconds
for it all to end.

Today I will leave
And without a fair trade.
I don't care if this hurts you.
It was your bed you made.

I just have to walk.
To talk just won't do.
It was never enough
To get through to you.

So, always remember
That you pushed me away.
Now, you have no right
To ask me to stay.

No flowers, or diamonds,
No declarations of heart,
No begging, no pleading,
And no fresh start.

You have sealed your fate
With your selfish demands.
You will never change
Or wash the blood off your hands.

We've connected through times of joy
Even through times of pain
I can see right through your show and
Unfortunately, I have to let you know
That you are the one for me
You have and will always be

I've seen the way you look at me
And although I may turn with chagrin
I'll never be able to show you
Just the way I feel
I know that one day I will be free
From this feeling of regret and sorrow
But for now, all I have to say is

My life will move on today
With or without you...will you stay
If I beg you, don't leave
Will you still be there for me
And if I should choose to let you see
You have and will always be
The only one for me

Someday down the line
Maybe one day I'll let you in
It's been the hardest thing for me
To feel this way and pretend
But maybe one day if there's a chance
You'll see exactly what I saw
That I am the one you need
For now, I just want to be free

These teardrops beside me flow,
From a quiet, happy, thankful soul.
The years taking their expensive toll,
Her beautiful smile a grand seed to sow.

She lowers her head to try and sleep,
But thoughts of the past run long and deep,
Attempting to make its victim weak.
Her memory only shows the harsh and bleak.

She truly wants to clear her mind,
However, she cannot erase the passing time.
Wisdom would implore her to leave it behind.
Therefore, she could enter a sleep so sublime.

Alas, this poor lass is wide awake,
Only regret plagues her mental state.
She never learns from any prior mistake.
Thus, the smile she forces is for her own sanity's sake.
