How can I express my remorse? By leaving a wilted flower bouquet? By paying my respects on this cold, rainy day? How can I express what I feel? An emptiness breathed out through my insides A space between now and what's been... How can I take it back in one plee...? I can't And I think Why couldn't I open my eyes to the truth and see? She's not really dead I'll keep telling myself She's not really gone, forever away In reality, if I could only make her SURVIVE! I wished to myslef, on her grave She's not dead, If only I could imagine her alive How can I express how I'm sorry That I ever let that little girl go That played in my head In her flower garden of Eden And who's laughter I could hear miles away How can I express my remorse For the child that lives inside of me The day that she went I gathered her some wild flowers That wilted in the hot sun of the day spent I wished she'd come back But I guess I scared her away That little girl finaly fled And now a big part of me Is filled with emptiness A big part of me Is left dead JOY |

This has brought tears to my eyes (someone pass me a tissue). This is beautifully written I must say. Great job! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

So very sad, Joy. Elizabeth Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

Loved these Wilted Wildflowers Joy. It's always a pleasure to read your work!! Jenny  Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

Sad poem but good. Makes us realize how lucky we are to be alive...I know you've probably gotten enough hugs by now...but here's mine anyway {{{{{HUUUUUUUGGGGGG}}}} Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king, and then became one? - Neil Diamond |
