the face of goodbye
downturned
streaked with
wet pain

chillingly
no one sees
the aloneness
in her eyes

no more passion
only the silent
detachment
falling again

the eyes
will never
smile

the heart
will never
break

the girl
will
never feel

again

Ouch...I felt the ache in this, Sharon.
Nicely done.

Write my smile through your tears why don't you!  Oh, but can we ever stop feeling,
and would we really want to?

Love forsakes but it shall not cross our heart forever!

I hear you even if I don't want to.

Hang in there PDV~ and smile
pretty please~

BS.... the premise is BS...

may feel that way sometimes...but no.. not unless we die do we stop feeling... we can bury it, cover it up..layer it... build walls around it.. the whole lot... but it is there..and when we learn to look up.. we know it... and we know the pains that go with it....

you can kick me later... you now owe me one.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sharon, this is so very heartaching, sweet friend, we have to keep feeling as though we may be anesthetized, doesn't mean we are out of life! (sad sigh) I too can sympathize with these petrifying predicates, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

As I began reading your sad poem, a tear welled in my eye.
As I came to the end of the poem, that tear slid down my cheek....

~ May the sun dry up any tears that may fall from your seeing eyes...

Warm hugs,
EA

Thank you all for reading...I blush to admit where this inspiration came from...so I won't tell you because it's so mundane!
