How Did I Get Here?
It was not meant
to be like this
Searching a lifetime
to be with you
What did I miss?
We had both fallen
in the past
Stumbling in flaky blind love
Mistaken but
finding each other at last
Everything else
was a dress rehearsal
For what was to be
our rhapsody
Never expecting a reversal
We learned our lessons well
or so I thought
only to be derailed
A love and life casualty
and all the pain it brought
How did I get here
in this too familiar place?
Alone and heartbroken
back again
at the start of the race

I liked this very much Christine.
Thanks Di … I’m happy you liked it 🥰
Beautifully written
Thanks Sadje. You’re sweet 🥰
And you’re welcome!
The start of the race again
For aching bones, it’s a strain
Too many pieces down the drain
I don’t think there’ll be more warm rain
Oh I inspired you! Very nice Ivor 🙂💕
You have a habit of inspiring me Christine… I think I associate with words closely….xx
Yes and they take you to your music too. What a lovely combination! 🙂❤️
You now make smile with joy 😁🌎🤗
👍👌🙂🎶
Sad but lovely embroidery on the theme, “one step forward, 2 steps back”–maybe?
More like three! Thank you dear Avia 💕🙂
Oh goodness, that’s so hard–truly I know: three weeks ago I thought I’d finally gotten the depression under control…returned with a vengeance. BUT, I trust God for a turnaround 🙂 <3
Yes, it’s that positive thinking ad trust that will see you through the dark times. Thinking of you ❤️☺️👍
Thank you, dear💖
Oh, I love this, Christine! ❤️
Awww. Thanks Punam 🙂💕
My pleasure, dear! 💞
Christine, WOW! This piece resonated with every fiber of my being. Wonderfully written.
I’m so happy it resonated with you. Relationships are so complex and the older we get the harder they become, it seems. Thank you Beckie 😔💕
Beautifully expressed.

Doing much better, thanks.
Good. I’m happy to hear that 🙂💕
