Where were you?

[b]WHERE WERE YOU
Where were you when I was riding the crest
When I longed for you to be my guest
My limbs were strong my energy great
You have come now, to see you I hate
Where were you when I longed for you
Your visits here were long over due
Its too late now I miss you no more
I will never more open the door
Where were you when I was in pain
I waited for you but in vein
Each hour, each minute I craned my neck
Looking for you I became a wreck
Have you forgotten those happy days
Spent together in many ways
I was there thru thick and thin
We are strangers now I lose you win[/b]
I composed these few lines just this morning. Do you share these thoughts with me? Are there people in your life who have dumped you despite what you did for them. Join me then.

I am sorry allknowing!
Anyhow, I know you have got over this though the disappointment is still there in a corner of your mind.
As far as I am concerned I have had my share of disappointments and disillusionments with very close people .I blame myself for seeing what was not there when the going was good. I blame myself for allowing things to evolve in a certain way instead of defining limits .
"We are strangers now I lose you win"----
You never lose what you never had. So, rest assured that you ought not to feel "I lose' thereby allowing the other person to win.

This got triggered when I received an invitation from a person who I had not seen for many years. This is the trend in our family. They need a crowd and someone like me attending their function will certainly add glamour to the crowd!

Where has love disappeared is a question that no one answers. Atleast in my family everyone is busy making money and they have succeeded. I therefore have an answer to my own question when it comes to my own family. Many of them had financial problems but thanks to opportunities (some helped by me) they are now rolling in wealth which has blinded them totally. But I belong to the old school of thought where gratitude never extinguishes and with that equation the indifference becomes intolerable.

Each of us have stories to tell. Don't we? But life moves on.

I now regret why I invested so much of my time on these people. I sometimes wonder why the role I played did not sink into these ungrateful souls.

Well...you know that there isn't going to be anyone treat them with as much care and patience as you have...it won't take them long to realize it too if they expect that treatment from everyone. I have always heard that one can teach kindness by showing it but I don't think that is always the case. It's not your fault..you did your best.

Keeping them at arms length does not bother them and that is the sad part. They carry on as though they have done no wrong.

Hi,
I have had a similar experience. At that time I felt like a tissue paper. I was used in time of need. When I'm no longer needed, I was crumbled up and thrown in the waste basket.
These kind of people are purely selfish and inconsiderate of others feelings. They have no moral values and only thinks of ways to perfectionate their own lives. We certainly need to avoid such crowd to save ourselves from further heartaches. Loveless functions are not worth attending.

I have more or less succeeded in keeping these 'ungratefuls' away but when they come to invite me that is when my adrenalin rises.

First of all, this is such a heartbreaking composition you have. I have experiences like this that has also broke my heart but in the end, it has made me become a better person, and in this failure, we learn, we grasp experiences from it that no other man can take and this is what is positive about it. I know it's depressing for now, but soon you will realize that there are purposes why these instances happened to you, and you'd be thankful for it in the long run.
Good luck my friend and God bless you!

The only purpose I see is that it helps me write poems!
Not knowing that they have failed in their duty is the worst thing in this scenario. Atleast if they apologised for their indifference that would be taking one step forward. It is therefore evident that there is a one time purpose when they try to connect

That's why I am here too. A place where one can get connected and am having a good time interacting with so many like minded.

Thank you for sharing...I read this at 2:30 a.m., and a re-read many times..trying to keep my emotions in abeyance!
Some heady things are happening right now, in my world...and this just made all those emotions, that I have stuffed down, choked back..come bubbling to the surface!
I need that box of Kleenex back..please!

Giving vent to one's emotions is sometimes a great help and I am glad I played a role. What baffles me is that how they go about feeling they have done nothing wrong - the audacity to invite me! They neither email, nor phone, nor visit bah!!!
I am grateful for one thing and that is on such occasions my poetic ability comes to the fore!
Most of my poems that I compose are when I get triggered!

This seems to be a global phenomena saphy. It kind of makes one feel better to think that one is not alone here.
