Deams atalose: I opened the door
and there you stood
You came back home
as I hoped you would
So many emotions
I read on your face
Then you pulled me close
for a loving embrace
You spoke the words
I yearned to hear
A sigh escaped me
with your first tear
You held my hand
within your own
It was then I realized
how much I've grown
For many months
I craved your touch
And how I missed you
so D*mn much
But so much has changed
with the passing of time
You had said your goodbyes
and I learned to say mine
Peace I felt
as a smile lit my face
I learned so much
from that single embrace
Though I had loved you
and loved you well
and these past months
have been pure hell
"With time you'll heal",
they all had said
This thought alone
ran through my head
As I held you close
and whispered goodbye
My dream had ended
and I began to cry
I continued to sleep soundly
despite this dream that I had
I'll have no more restless nights
and for this I'm glad.
Re:Deams Sad Eyes: That was touching....
Re:Deams teacherwriterguy: Not to be too teachery - but that's why I love poetry. We chart our lives, or emotions, our growth, and our world views by it.
The form and the rhythm carries you through, but it's really about capturing how you felt at a given moment and space in time.

The words fell into a strong rhythm there that matched the emotion.
Just my humble opinion - people would be a lot happier and healthier if they all knew how to write a little poetry! :)
Nicely done,

Re:Deams atalose: Thank you Sad Eyes.......
and teacherwriterguy being you are teacher, writer and all made me feel good getting a response from you.
Everyone should explore their feelings through written words, poetry is beautiful, a written verse can make an impact on not only your way of thinking and feeling but you may touch someone else with your words.
