.......................What's on my mind today?

What is on my mind today???? Lots! Valentine's Day is finally over. That sucked! Being alone has its perks, but not on Valentine's Day. UGH! That was miserable. So many people posting on Facebook about who they love and why, and what they got for Vday. Gag me with a spoon please! Now don't get me wrong, I love being in love, but when you aren't its all a drag. LOL

I haven't posted any poetry on here recently. So I think I will!!! I don't know why this particular poem is weighing heavily on my mind. I usually only think about this situation in October, which marks the anniversary of a very painful event. However, I saw Shawn yesterday, so that is probably why. Here goes:

Taken

A piece was taken from me
before I was given the opportunity to see
I didn't even know
before it had to go

I've questioned every move made
every decision, every tear heavily weighed
every headache, ever sneeze, every ache and pain
the whole process has driven me insane

"God's will" rings through my head
but regret pumps through my veins
an unbelievable hurt in my heart
continuously tearing me apart

I want to let go
I wish I didn't even know
this feeling of emptyness
this child that I miss

How can I miss someone
I never even knew
Why do I continuously
long for you

A piece of me was taken away
without my permission; without my say
It makes me so angry; its not fair
and the worst part is you don't even care

It was taken from you too
He or she - a part of you
But not one tear, not one regret
how easy it is for you to forget

I want to - I try to
but its linked to you
And no matter how hard I try
I just can't say good-bye.

That was an emotional time in my life. I'm over and done with that now, but it remains a part of me - of who I am today. I guess seeing Shawn reminded me of that and also reminded me of how much stronger I have become.

Anyway, as always, let me know what you think!!
