Hopelessely bound unfettered by the chains of love's grip -greatest gift, fate's cruelest curse. Wherefore do I weep at knowing the joy, the warmth, at feeling the peace, the fire. Wherefore do I weep unable to complete , to be, unknown the kiss, the flames. Wherefore do I weep at loving not living seeing not touching breathing not sharing holding not loving? All, because I, The Fool, am no more? I thought about singing, But I couldn't 'member all the words. Breaking But I couldn't get the pieces apart. Laughing never knowin' what the joke was about, Now I'm down... -Matchbox 20 |

ME FIRST ME FIRST!!! Wherefore and why, indeed, my friend. We have all spoken these words to ourselves at one time or another (though probably not so eloquently, as we had no one to impress but ourselves!)  --Me YOUR LIFE IS A TEST It is only a test ... If this were your Actual Life, you would have been given better instructions! |

"Wherefore do I weep at loving not living seeing not touching breathing not sharing holding not loving?" This is a wonderful piece, Chris. It deserves to be in the book!

There are times when you reach down into the core of my soul and rip it out. How, my dear friend, do you know me so well? My heart, my soul and my pain. |

Because life without love is not easy! Therefore weep my friend. On the other hand who said love was easy? So rejoice in that you have yourself! Love it Chris! |

Chris, This is twisted with so many emotions! Being captured by love that you don't have. Love, something so wonderful yet so painful! Feelings of loving what you're missing and yet not knowning what you're missing! Very well done Sir! "Wherefore do I weep at loving not living seeing not touching breathing not sharing holding not loving? All, because I, The Fool, am no more?" My sweet friend, it's NEVER too late! < !signature--> ~Sheri [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 07-03-2000).] |
