My conscience set me free to touch
the hollows of your soul and such.
Why dost thou abstain from me
and softly go thy sweet decree?
Tis oft I yearn to hear thy voice
to soothe and lull this heartbreak's noise.
Not a soul could bring such ardent splendor
with a touch, embrace so tender.
I walk alone with empty hand
weakened heart but strong I stand.

Oh yeah, Jaxjoy!

Damned if I don't that THAT feeling! I loved the portrayal of this in your poem!

I've only recently relearned an important lesson on this...IF someone out there loves you, then one should stop pining for the one who never will!

For the one who never will never should have been in the first place!

Corinne

p.s. The rewards of loving one who returns that love with equal passion, well, honey, all I can say is:  Oh My God! What a difference THAT makes!
