I hold on to the night, its here I keep my pain I will never let it go Some, think of me insane I hold tight, to all I have, and pain is what I feel My friends I do not burden, I pretend its no big deal I try to ware a happy smile, and be my good old self While my heart bares the the weight of love no more, all by its lonely self I see friends around me laughing, happy with their lives I smile and laugh with them, as I tuck it all inside Why should I show, or even tell how bad it is I feel How could they know, they do not see, the pain it is I feel You called until I answered, my heart, no longer free Was against my own good judgment, this love came to be No matter of the out come, no matter who was wrong It's still alive inside me, forever going strong So, I hold on to the night its here I keep my pain I do not search I do not look I do not seek to find A place to toss away my heart ache, to leave my love behind I don't know the answer, nothings there I see, yet inside me lingers, this heart that is not free I dine with candles burning,, it helps to hide my eyes Inside, I keep the yearning , As I hide my foolish pride I walk in shadowed memory, with no shadow there of me Darkened Old Love History, seems my destiny I hold on to the night Its where I keep my pain, my memory of you, how could I let it end © tori 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If with pen in hand I've made you think I've not wasted one drop of ink vlh.

Wow...painfully sad..this really struck me. Hiding pain such as the pain expressed here is so hard...exellent work. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* Mockery is a form of ignorance; silence, a form of wisdom. -- Daniel L. Miller |

It's amazing how people can be so far apart but, be going through almost the exact same thing!! This was beautifully written!! I really enjoyed it, even though so sad!! Thanks!!

This is such a touching story. It is a song of its own. We have all brought this feeling with us at some time for one reason or another into the night. VEry well written. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Marianne Williamson |

Tori this was written just beautifully! Tho sad, I'm sorry you feel this way! Will it not help to talk to someone about it? Sometimes just to get it out helps! |

Thank you so much WhtDove, this is not about me or anyone I know ? More so about that time in the night when all sadness comes to call, was just the topic I chose.. But thank you for being so concerned :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If with pen in hand I've made you think I've not wasted one drop of ink vlh.
