Take this heart and let it be
trampled now beneath your feet..
It's contents bared and finally spilled
Empty, shredded, unfulfilled..
I dreamed that love might cross this path
To feel you in my arms at last..
Yet doubt and trust were constant here
afraid to feel, no pain, no tears..
Still, you took my heart away
and silly me, I'd wait each day,
Wait and wonder, needing you
hoping you truly felt it, too..
For, this heart, also, has oft been shattered
The endless games not seeming to matter..
Sacred beds, now torn in sheets
so many want and take with greed..
Not seeing me for more than this
tousled hair, impassioned lips..
So, take this heart, do as you choose..
For without you, it has no use..

Sheila  10/30/00


Perhaps not as eloquent as many... but grief is not always easily expressed.

you expressed it just fine. and your pain is felt.

Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox

Oh no, I hate to think you are feeling this sad. Why does this keep happening to us, when all we want is love? This is very expressive, and beautiful, no reason to think otherwise, Sheila. It surely expressed my thoughts..
