Satisfaction Of Sadness by Pamela O'Brien

I want you to see,
That I'm doing fine,
The satisfaction of knowing,
That I'm not yours,
And you're not mine.
Because I need to be,
Reassured of myself,
The satisfaction of seeing,
That I'm still me,
And I'm in good health.
So I'll be on my way,
Driving a little further every day,
On the road that brought us together,
But roads can't go forever.....
If you only knew,
How little I miss you,
The satisfaction of feeling,
The exact same thing,
That you put me through.
I want you to be,
Out of my life completely,
The satisfaction of knowing,
That I can't hurt you,
And you can't hurt me.
So just be on your way,
Drive a little further every day,
On the road that brought us together,
Please stay away forever.....

This poem has brought tears to my eyes. I just told the man I love that I'm happy with out him(even though i truly am not) The satisfaction of teling him that though and making him see that he doesn't have power over me and that I will not cry for him any more is an amazing feeling. This poem is beautiful.

I am sorry but also glad to hear that your sadness satisfies you. This poem is meant to reflect the desperation and accomplishment that is felt when you finally let go of that person - I hope it comes to you too :0)

it's the empty-handed love
sad as it is there is repair of a wreak or a new vehicle shining bright and new

strenght
i see yours as a mighty oak tree that gives us shade and song from birds happily making a nest in your branches of majestic strenght
