she takes a long look
through the window
and in it, she sees glimpses of her life
what it could be, what it would be
if only. . . if only. . .

she feels that this
is all there is
that there is nothing more
if I could only make her see that there is
if only. . . if only. . .

she looks again
and sees nothing but pain
she doesn't see the love that
she has in her life
the love of her child and of her friends
and while she still does not have the love
she feels she needs, the love she does have
could be enough
if only. . . if only. . .

she sits again by the window
and looks out at the world
and I look back through the window
hoping to reflect back to her
the light that she shines to me
the light that I know is in her
shining for all to see

if only. . .

Not fair hon!  In my current state of soul you brought tears to my eyes.  It is a sad image I portray through another's eyes.  It is beautiful but tragic.  Thanks Sven *hugs*

Can't believe no one else had read this.  Their loss.  Once again this is the perfect depiction of me hon, it has now become
'my anthem'/  Copies of it everywhere.
Thanks again, I don't think YOU realise just how well you know and understand me hon, to have written such descriptions having never met is amazing.
Thanks my kindred heart, for all, your love, support and understanding.  You are a blessing in my life..
*hugs*

Isis I know that you desire the exact same thing that we all want...to be loved and appreciated by the significant others in our lives...if we don't receive this love we feel disappointment, loneliness, pain, and emptiness.   I hope that all the blessings of life will come to you, the happiness you deserve, the appreciation and admiration you need and Love to light up your heart...believe it....James

Ah this one makes me sad. It reminds me of my marriage (thank goodness it's over). Great writing, Sven.

Take me as I am or watch me as I go
