Broken Faith and Trust

can faith and trust be restored once broken?
when the heart bleeds from it`s deep lacerations
this piercing pain that grips this beating organ
is choked with remorse and consternation

for the very deeds that were inflicted
so harshly on this innocent soul
have left scars that cut through its central nerve
thus leaving a sensation of lost control

even the mere spoken vulgarity
has sent shock waves echoing around
can faith and trust be restored once broken ?
time will tell, if hope eternal is found


a fragile situation that with hope may well be repaired through effort and time

Forgiveness on both sides

If I've upset you, I'm sorry
I didn`t mean to yell at you
I try to bite my lip, and then
A voice in my head tells me too

Where we go from here, I don`t know
You make me so angry inside
I want to scream and shout you see
These strong emotions, I can`t abide

Quickly, I regret all that`s been said
Stuck here, tears running down my face
Caught up between anger and pain
I am in a very strange place

Need to feel I'm part of your life
Not discarded along the way
Through this pain, we can be happy
And look forward to a new day!


Feelings felt after an argument ....

Lost trust

When trust is broken
your hand slips away
confidence is crushed
there`s nothing more to say

Trusted you with my life
and now I've been betrayed
no one else to turn to
though I wish you had stayed

Sadly you let me fall
I'm slumped here on the ground
broken, bruised and battered
once you go, there`s no sound

What`s the use carrying on?
now you've left me to die
I'm here with one question
After all we've been through......why?


Lost trust is so hard to earn back....

Feelings of belonging

sat here thinking
hoping and longing
that one day I`ll feel part of this
want strong feelings of belonging

feeling so lonely
want to scream and shout
over whelming need for company
even though there are people about

need to be wanted
anger all around me
atmosphere is thick with tension
slicing through, there must be calm you see

want companionship
people to talk too
to feel wanted, needed and loved
that`s the one thing I ask of you

there are times in our lives when we feel alone even though there people all around us......

I love you.....

Little laughter
just to break the ice
strokes of feet
underneath the table
touch of hands
caress with fingers
our eyes meet
across the plates
little gestures
to show affections
emotions high
so need to hug you
a gentle kiss
to say"I love you"


love is in the air........

Clearing out the house

De-cluttering is good for the soul
at least this is what I was told
discarding all the trash in my life
throwing out the unwanted and old

Recycling the unnecessary
shredding documents not needed
sorting and stacking all so neatly
when all is done, you've succeeded

Then off to find a car boot sale
for me to turn my trash into gold
so hunting through to see where`s best
for all my items to be sold

So now my home is looking good
all de-cluttered and  cleared out
for harmony has been restored
transformation ! without a doubt



So it`s out with the old and unwanted to make more room and some money for the next project.

Emotions

curled up on my sofa
emotions flooding through
not quite sure what happened
but I feeling rather blue

a tear runs down my cheek
tracing lines on my face
there`s so much going on
not sure about this place

there`s silence all around
an eerie feeling here
loneliness of the heart
want this to disappear

if only I could smile
and take this pain away
I will win this battle
and live another day


emotions come and go  and we all have to cope with them...:)
