THANK YOU FOR LEAVING ME (REFLECTIONS ON THE TRUTH)

By Charles Robert Lindholm  

 I wish I would

stay angry

the way they say

I should

But I’ve learned

that letting go

makes me feel so good

NOT MEANT TO BE

By Bree Leto – Secret Thoughts Within and Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet

There are many things you can’t control

Your heart

Another’s heart

no matter how much you might want to

It is a fact of life that

hopes and wishes

dreams and prayers

don’t always happen or come to pass

We may have relationships and love

that we have always dreamed of

but sometimes

happenstance

fate or luck

intervene and force a change

to our plans and choices

Not all relationships

are meant to be forever

sometimes they are only meant

to be for awhile

There may be many things you can’t control

but there are some things you can

Maybe it’s time to dream a new dream

It might be time to

move on

forgive and forget

let go

and follow your own pathway

into a new and better life

IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF LACE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

It Only Takes
A Little Bit Of Lace
To Ruin A Marriage

Especially,
If You Remove It
From A Woman
In A Hotel Room
Who Isn’t Your Wife

HER RESOLUTION

By Charles Robert Lindholm

It was the end
of a brutal week
and tonight was
New Year’s Eve

The Wintery weather
was whipping snow
and sleet around
everywhere

THE BITTER END

By Charles Robert Lindholm

It’s Hard To Hear
The Truth,
To Have It Stare
You In The Face

COME STAND WITH ME

By Keza And Charles Robert Lindholm

Arrows,
Arrows
Everywhere,
Flying
Through The Air

Darling,
Please Don’t Stand,

LETTING GO

By Nichole Sulpizio And Charles Robert Lindholm

She Heard The Door
Firmly Shut Behind Her
Then Slowly Turned Around
To Take A Final Look
As The Whisper From Her Heart
Said,

“Sometimes
There Is No Going Back”

-08.09.19_14:38-

 

A choice that I made

It was supposed to be until the end

The one and

Only,

Again.

Abandoned amidst predictions

Now true,

Watching as life goes on for others

But not for me.

She was the first

I gave my heart and my soul.

THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Lived With A Woman
Who Was Passionate
And Wildly Exciting
And It Was Thrilling

THE SHADOW OF US

By Charles Robert Lindholm

The Light Of My Life
Has Left Me
Running Away
To The West

SOMETHING BETTER

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Spent So Many Years
Wishing And Dreaming Of
Something Better
Than What She Thought
She Had

She Had A Restless Heart
That Always Hungered
For More,

TICKLING THE WIRE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Never Knew
That I Was
Tickling The Wire
But It Seems I Did

Having Found
Condemning Evidence
I Wanted To Obtain
A Confession

PRODIGAL LOVER

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Sailed
Into The Sunset
Never Looking Back
Or Waving

Without A Care
Or Second Thought
She Left Me
For Anywhere But Here

SHE PLUNDERED MY HEART

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Plundered My Heart
So Easily
It Was Not Locked
Or Hidden Away
Because I Trusted Her

THE BITTER END

By Charles Robert Lindholm

It’s Hard To Hear
The Truth,
To Have It Stare
You In The Face

SHE WAS ALWAYS FREE TO GO

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Was Always Free To Go
And So, One Day She Finally Did

USED TO BE

BY CHARLES ROBERT LINDHOLM

We
Used To Be
Best Friends
Lovers
Married

But Things Are So Different

BADGES OF HONOR

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Look Back
At The Us
That Used
To Be

I,
Am No Longer
Sad, Hurt
Or In Pain

A REIGNITING FLAME

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I’ve Tried To Forget
All About You
But It Seems The Memories
We Made Together
Are Like The Match
You Can’t Blow Out

NO WORDS WERE NEEDED

By Charles Robert Lindholm

They meet
the day after Christmas
as agreed

They sat across
the table from each other
in an eerie silence
