About the Poem
Love does not always end with happily ever after. Sometimes it just ends and then the hurting really begins. I hope this never happens to you, but if it does . . . read this and know you are not alone. Others have walked before you.

I loved this poem it is exactly how i am feeling at the moment and it is comferting to know that i am not the only one who has felt this way. Me and my bf have reecntly broken up because of distance and a couple fo disagreements. We are still good friends and that is good. But i can't help but long for the relationship to be more again. But each day it gets easier. I hope you keep on writing because you have talent to touch peoples lives with your writing. Thanks for writing this and keep on writing.

Hey I loved this poem it bescrides everything i feel at the moment because me and my bf just rencetly broke up. I don't understand why or what happened but i feel in my heart that it is wrong and we were meant for each other. But i have to convence myself that it will never be he feels in his heart that this is right. But i will always care for him as a friend and he always has a special place in my heart. We are sitll remaining friends though which is good. Keep writing you have a gift to touch people with your poetry and that is something that should not be wasted.

My partner of 6 years has just walked out on me and 2 children for reasons he can't find, (we dont appreciate each other so he thinks a break will help) i say to walk out is pretty much saying it's all gone, let him find out where his bread was buttered! reading this has made me feel much better in the way that my emotions and feelings are normal and there are others out there that have/are going through the same. I wish I could just squeeze all them people and erase all the pain as I am feeling it too. x x fantastic poet thanks

The Joke's On Me |
| by Judy Burnette |
|
I keep waiting for the phone to ring Yet I know it won't be you; I try to fill my life with busyness Yet all I do is think of you. What became of us And all our dreams and plans; How could you turn and walk away As I watched our castles turn to sand? Do you never even miss me Don't you long to caress my face; How could you forget so easily And You I can't erase? I want to be in your arms again To see the laughter in your eyes; But I guess the joke's on me And Oh! Was I surprised! |

I think your poem hits the hearts of alot of women who get caught up in a man who wants nothing more than to think he is missing out on something in his life. I have yet to hear anyone put exactly the way I feel into just the right words. Thank you!

I understand were the poet is coming from and I to been in love and was misused. But the only thing I could think of doing is drive on and pain dont last forever. It was probably for the best.
