GIANT'S LEAP:

Once more your face appears
As I struggle to focus through my tears
All I want to do is cry

Confusion mixed with fear
In this time I so need you near
I don't understand why

You promised to always care
No matter what you'd always be there
Where are you now?

And so I must repair
Shattered, stripped, my heart is bare
The pain you allowed

Your love and strength no more known
In fear I stand here alone
Alone before a giant's leap
The heart you were meant to keep.

Sylvia, this again shows the pain so clearly. Reminds me of a song where the woman asks the man "Does she know how you told me you'd hold me till you died-But you're still alive"
Not fair. Good luck, maybe things will turn. Dreams are eternal.

So sad this piece. The pain leaked through. Makes for a good poem though.Hang in there.
