Late into the night
only the darkness hears
the tears.
Uncertainty grips
with strangle hold,
suffocating thoughts~
clouding dreams.

Is it a dream this time,
or once again fantasy?

Once upon a time
doubt was non-existant,
but now hangs heavy
like ominous clouds
in the midsts of
the thunderstorms
of life.

Happiness once prevailed
until the events~

events of life~

changing that which was
into the unknown of tomorrow.

Oh how,
how to recapture that joy,
this~ the only thought
in the silence.

The pain, the emotion
slowly fades,
but scars remain....
reminding of the knife
that cut deep into the
tender heart,
with careful placement
of the doubt.

Thoughts reflected
on silvery waters.
Ponderings
in light of moon,
feeling moments of yesterday
slipping in to shadow
the dreams of tomorrow.

Trust, so openly given
can only be taken
by the one it was gifted too...
and the gift once handed back,
can it ever be held again?

Consumed~

Praying and hoping
that what is believed to be
truly is.

Knowing that it might not be.
Wanting to know,
but fearing the knowledge....

wondering, always wondering....

Hello Gentle Spirit

This was so very moving. I could almost feel your heart breaking and feel your pain. I hope that happiness will once again adorn your loving heart and that you receive the love your deserve. This was beautiful.

Take care.....Sue

Sue, my heart is not broke. I just think to much sometimes!! Perhaps too deeply... Thank you for seeing this, I appreciate it.

well, my 30 minutes online is well spent for I read this, that's right only 30 minutes a day, cause after all I didn't develop an addiction overnight

thank you for this, I feel every single word and I needed it. Take care, Donna, you are a wonderful person!

Donna...this is such a beautiful poem about heartbreak, but I'm so glad that yours isn't the heart about which you so poignantly write.
