1. Paradox
Famous Poem
I went out to the woods to-day
To hide away from you,
From you a thousand miles away—
But you came, too.
After a breakup, there is a great feeling of loneliness that overcomes us. For so long, we felt that we were a part of something bigger than ourselves. Suddenly we are left with the realization that we no longer have another to lean on. The loneliness is overwhelming. We have become used to having someone with us all the time. We probably made all our decisions together. To suddenly be alone after intense togetherness is a very lonely feeling.

I went out to the woods to-day
To hide away from you,
From you a thousand miles away—
But you came, too.

And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever

Famous Poem
You came again, but silence
Had fallen on your heart,
And in your eyes were visions
That held us still apart.
The moon is down
I lie alone
I have a vision about you
About your laughter
A very moving poem - I like the way you have used so many of the senses of sight, smell, etc. Best wishes, Ann.

It’s cold and it’s dark,
In this place that I hide,
I’ve built up these walls,
I let no-one inside.
I appreciate the honesty and transparency of this important poem. It is very meaningful to me.
There are people all around me,
Yet I can't help but feel alone.
And although he says he loves me,
He no longer lets it show.
I searched but never found you.
The paths we traveled never crossed
And now my life is winding down,
And I fear all hope is lost.
Famous Poem
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
I'm sitting here alone, my thoughts within the past,
Thinking about you, a love I hoped would last.
Your warm and tender heart that seems so far away,
This yearning deep inside me that I must obey.

I'm sorry I love you as more than a friend,
But the love that I have doesn't come to an end.
You dwell in my thoughts, and to my mind I will keep
A love that's for you, a love I hide deep
Imagine the sun sinking
and dim turns to dark.
The silence that surrounds you,
the shadows that make their mark.
First I shed a single tear because we are apart,
wanting nothing but to be with you,
to make a brand new start

You said you didn't love me.
You said you didn't care.
You said I wasn't worth it,
And then you gave me a stupid stare.

Inquisitive, I view the couples everywhere;
Peaceful and glee, as both lives are shared.
When will it be my turn, I start to ponder;
Deeper into thought I begin to wander.

Where do I go, which way do I turn
searching for that love I so desperatly yearn
fading memories of a past I'd soon forget
isolated and alone waiting for the one not met.
I just quit a job that I hated. I live in a part of the country that is almost dead, no jobs. I am married to a wonderful man, but he cannot afford to pay my bills, vehicle and insurance. I...
Famous Poem
You will come one day in a waver of love,
Tender as dew, impetuous as rain,
The tan of the sun will be on your skin,
The purr of the breeze in your murmuring speech,

The gay young men and the love-sick girls,
and the abandoned widows suffering in sleepless delirium,
and the young pregnant wives of thirty hours,
and the raucous cats that cruise my garden in the shadows,
Famous Poem
I hoped that he would love me,
And he has kissed my mouth,
But I am like a stricken bird
That cannot reach the south.
Yes! Been there! It kinda takes away from the romance. It might be best to keep trying to fly south.
