Forever In Your Heart

Black are the trees,
standing tall, empty,
dark, without you,

Black are my eyes,
the tears that flow,
down my cheeks,

Black is my world,
lost, void, dead,
no desire, desolate,

Black are my words,
without color or hue,
bland, without emotion,

Black is my heart,
hollow, broken,
just a shell,

Your love used to fill,
if only I could have found,
you finding me in time,

Black would not have existed,
never mentioned upon my lips,
now you are gone,

Its too late, I could have loved you,
more than all the world,
that is why I cry,

Of what might have been,
was suppose to be,
and is no more....

A Romantic Heart, reminds me of " The saddest words of tongue or pen, to know the things that might have been",

Thank you bloodline, yes I am really sad,
all this week, it is from the passing of Michael Jackson, when souls are alike, they can feel, sense others pain etc....

I cried the day I heard the news, and for some reason, I still cry, hearing his music,
he was so misunderstood by the world,

I cry over how he was talked about and treated,
when he just wanted to heal the world,
make it a better place, he donated over 300 million to charties...that within itself speaks volumes about his heart....

Each of us, need to "look in the mirror"
and seek our purpose here on earth, and strive each day to make it a better place, for eachother, our children, our childrens children.

He never had tattoos, never drank, never had sex in his videos, or songs for that matter,
he is an icon , one that will never be again,
the last of his breed....like animals that are extinct....

He loved to help children, was an ambassador to them, for the healthy ones, the poor ones, the sick ones, he gave so much....more than he could give.

People are cruel, mean, and money hungry vampires, wanting to use him for their own prosperity...self worth and self gain.

He was one person, trying to make a difference, it was too hard on him to do it,
he used his gifts to shine,

and now that light has faded and went out,
the world has lost something, something great, one of a kind...

I grieve for the world, for his family, I grieve for the pain he endured, never deserved, when he was so giving...

I am filled and overflowing with extreme sadness, and it will take time to overcome,
because it goes deeper than what the world can see at the moment...

Sorry so long...I needed to vent...

I have not been a fan of Michael Jackson's music, except for a few songs, but to see true mourning like this is touching. I wish that everyone could look at the good he did and the person he was like you do, ARH. Too many choose to focus on his appearance or the alleged charges against him, and they miss the humanitarian he was. Thank you for this.

I agree, see him for the good he did while he was here, no one is perfect, we all have our flaws..we need to look at ourselves when we open our mouths to speak about others...

and see where we are doing wrong...what we need to correct...within ourselves...
