So Close But Yet So Far
What happened, we were so close
how could it have turned so cold...
in the bed where we once lay
over and over... where we had rolled
We have turned a final page
to go back, it can not be done
it is over.. no more together
now we have turned.... all for one
We almost made it..
to the finish....
So close... but yet so far
we lost in the game of love
is this really....
where we are.
So close... and yet so far
these words....
will always haunt my mind.
our young love is something
we just can't seem to find.

my little bluebird, i have missed your melodies. thank you for commenting my bluebird. .
There seems to always be a sad ending to love, just the way it is in this old world, but it is my hope that people will learn how to love with outgoing love, not selfish love, I hope that day will come soon for us all.

Been there twice. The loss can be painful for awhile. Thanks for feeling
Michael, great expressions of loss and sadness. Downcast and subdued poem, you voiced these feelings very skillfully, very touching.

Thank you Dotti, your appearance on my hubs are a welcome treat. hope to see more of you.
Great poetry. You've captured the pain of separation, or end of a love affair beautifully ,Michael, and obviously turned it into something lovely.
There is nothing as detrimental to a relationship as a fire gone cold. If we do not keep those fires kindled, it will die out. We grow apart, we lose interest and give up: life becomes humdrum. So close yet so far. Great poem and well done.
Hm...two living together yet being worlds apart? It happens a lot, unfortunately for some it takes longer to realize how different they may be, or just not right for each other, or can no longer find right words to say..close but far at the same time. Nice writing Michael.
