Poem: After the Pain

After everything is said and done,

will our love have won?

Something so good that didn’t last

because we both held onto the past.

After all, we’ve been through,

does our love hold true?

Can it be that it was real,

the love we feel?

Could it be that things were wrong?

Wrong time, wrong place, the wrong way.

Nevertheless,

feelings exist

somewhere deep inside.

The feelings so strong that we can’t hide.

After the pain,

can we go on?

Can we revive a love past?

Search for feelings to last?

Pick up the pieces so long broken?

Mend a broken heart, uplift a broken spirit?

Develop a friendship and go on after the pain?
