The sun was setting for the day
And life was seemingly okay.
Time was free, I hadn't a care
Mostly because my parents weren't there.

I had come back from the wilderness
In a quiet state of bliss.
I was so ecstatic that I sang--
Next thing I know, the telephone rang.

I cannot say all that was said,
Only that it spun my head;
Things I could not understand,
When the truth I did demand.

The words I heard cut deep in my heart,
And I felt my world being torn apart.
So much happening at the same time...
And yet there was no warning, no sign.

Truths can heal, or cause great pain,
But what is driving me insane
Is that right now I'm not too sure
What is true, what's real, what's pure...

I'd never thought a single call
Could cause my built-up strength to fall
To cause my entire world to shake,
And, for a time...
My heart to break.

But I still love her, always will
Though it may put me through the mill
In my mind and in my heart,
Of which she'll always be a part.

Someone who outclasses me
By far and wide, for all to see
Has found the gift I treasure so;
They love each other, from what I know.

So please forgive these whining words,
Though they may just sound absurd.
This is a record of the quake
That caused my entire world to shake.

that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Sorry for the pain of heartbreak.
It's sad, but honey, we've all gone through
it at some time or another in our lives ...
and I stress gone through it ...
for though it is rough when it happens,
someone else will come along in your future
and put a smile upon your face again.
*Hugs*

Thanks everyone for your replies, for some reason it makes me feel a lot better knowing that others know of my problem...and definitely a picker-upper that I have friends here.   A big, loud, fiery THANK YOU to you all, you're great people!!!

Though my body be
Human, my heart and soul be
That of a dragon.
