Seeing you in my mind,
Feeling your presence on my skin,
Shadows of your smile fading-
Into the very clouds above my head.

Is there no hope-
  No beginning at the end?

For me to need you,
Lies heavily upon my soul-
Such a feeling,
Never felt before.

The light grows very dim,
  On the inside of my heart.

Never will that brightness come again,
Burned out for all eternity…
And deeper as each day passes.




 Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

This is so sad and very beautiful, too. Hang in there! A new light will be shining soon!

Such sadness...it is always hard to lose someone, but all things happen for a reason.  I'm sure the light of your life hasn't shined on you yet.

Devina-
You've much to say ...
and you say it well.
Smile, pretty girl.
The brightness will come again.

devina, I feel for you. You are so sweet, you will find happiness again. If I was there I'd give you a big sweet hug, and a wet kiss, to help you forget for a little while.

If I would have a light
It would shine on you
If I would have a song
It would be singing it for you

If I would have a man
I would send him to you

I'm sure there is one on his way to your heart already  
How do they say at Loreal
"Because you worth it"

What can I say .. I know how you feel; and I feel for you and what your going through.  But your poety is the light for so many others; you must know that! It is for me! I love reading 'you'.

My prayers are with you .. and have been every day since we talked last!

Keep that heartlight burning lady!
It will be a beacon for that special person out there who is seeking light to guide him to you.
As always, your writing is so good and with such feeling.
