My heart has been closed
and in need of major repairs
since you walked out on me
without ever looking back

Did you not want to see the hurt
in my eyes or did you not
want to hear my cries
as I pleaded with you to stay

Nothing was going to keep you here
You had already made up your mind
but I don't think you could foresee
how damaging your departure would be

My feelings had become unimportant to you
I became a thorn in your side
excess baggage
totally superfluous
no longer required

My emotional scars will heal in time
but I remain determined
to become a stronger person
as I refuse to let love defeat me

So much love I have to give
but so carefully I will choose
as to where I plant my seeds of love
in order to reap the rewards
and receive the love I believe I deserve

(tears fall down my cheeks) So sad but hopeful, sweet friend, the beauty of love is all about planting the seeds in the right heart and harvesting to the right time, for where you find the most beautiful sunshine of love, is where eternity will sprout and all your wounds and worries will disappear into happiness! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, all our hearts go out to you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

*sigh* My heart goes out to you, dear one. I know that when you do plant your seeds of love your garden will blossom and burst with the purest fruit of love. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

A very heart wrenching poem Sue, but extremely well done.

Oh Sue, Such feeling in this poem.  Very, very emotional.  Filled with heartbreak and finishing with determination.  A fine way you use your words my friend.  Roger
