Empty Vase

Folder: 
2001 Poetry

Day by day,

these flowers wilt,

in a vase upon the table.

Our love dies,

a child cries,

love is just a fable.

~

Hurt and pain,

will fill this vase,

that sits upon the table.

I loved you,

the whole way through,

but now I am no longer able.

~

Pedals fall,

with wilted leaves,

from this vase upon the table.

But thorns remain,

to cause this pain,

as I try to remain stable.

~

Now all that's left,

is an empty vase,

that sits upon my table.

Love is gone,

I'll carry on,

thank God for cable.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this on 8-19-01. It's kind of about my parents getting divorced.. and my 2nd mom going through all the shit she has gone through. I admire her and the strength she has to be able to deal with it all.. without going too crazy.... I wish I had just a little bit of the strength she has.. Maybe then I'd make it through things better.

I think this is a great poem, and even though you might not realize it...you HAVE a lot of the strength that you were wishing you had.
