I lie here alone, staring out my window at the snow softly falling, blanketing the world I shiver as a chill works it's way down my spine ignoring the colder chill within my chest Silence surrounds me so deep its deafening a tear slowly winds its way down the anguished valleys of my tired face I remember what it was like to feel the sun I remember the warmth of your smile Drowning in the love shining from your eyes promising me an eternity of sunshine Fear a stranger in my safe secure world Then without warning, a demon from some world of ice and fear descended upon us wrenching your arms from around my waste and stealing your warmth forever We fought it with all we had even as you weakened your eyes still shone with the love that had been my respite for so long The warmth ebbed slowly taking your soul with it I hope that in heaven the sun shines on you as you once shone on me That your heart is filled with the warmth of my ever present love for you And I pray that someday, when my time has come and heaven finally opens its doors to my cold lonely heart, that I will find you as you were before the demons stole you away Strong, happy and shining, brighter than any sun Holding out your arms to embrace me Gazing into my eyes with the love that I keep here in my heart, frozen in time Life is not a spectator Sport! Dance like no one's watching. Love like it's never going to hurt. |

Thank you both for your kind words! Addictions do not just effect the addicted. As an addiction slowly destroys the addicted it also seeps into the people who love. Losing someone you loved so dearly after watching them battle the demons within can leave you with a casing of ice around your heart. Kind of like traumatic stress with out the sudden trauma! Long term trauma! But I digress! Thank you thank you, for your feedback! Life is not a spectator Sport! Dance like no one's watching. Love like it's never going to hurt. |

Thank you both! Yes a painful piece. But kind of a catharsis for me. It's easier to understand where you are and where you're going when you can write about where you've been. What doesn't kill you can only make you stonger!< !signature--> Life is not a spectator Sport! Dance like no one's watching. Love like it's never going to hurt.

Intense and sad, there are many forms of demons to battle, and most of them can indeed be deadly. All we can do is what this Warrior princess has always said 'Battle on!'. Enjoyed the intenseness of this one  Isis *The heart of education is the education of the heart...* ~Isis~~Sovereign of the Spirit. |

I definately got what you were saying here. This one is actually for a love, but I could relate to this one being that I've lost so many loved ones and so many dear friends... here's one I wrote for Evan Gourley...My friend, my friend. I remember the fun. The days, my friend, out under the sun. I remember the scent when I'd open your car. I feel you are near, but realize you're far. I remember the parties, the laughs and your smile. I can't accept you're gone, my friend, I guess I'm in denial. You were always so funny, so bright and so caring I can look at your picture, but I can't stop staring. I remember the glorious times we were together like the leaves in the wind, or birds of a feather. You'd come to the lunch table and cheer the group up I guess, my friend, you were down on your luck. I close my eyes, and remember that day I cry in my bed, I can't move, I just lay. Now that you're gone, the group feels apart. Don't worry, my friend, I'll keep you in my heart. If there's one thing I ask of you, don't go astray. Help the group, Evan. Get us together, let us stay. I remember, my friend, we used to cruise around. I look for you, Evan, but you can't be found. January 18th, I hate you. Please don't come again. For that is the day, you sadly took my friend. I look at the moon, the stars, the sky. I ask the Lord questions, including, "Please tell me why" There is one thing I wish I'd had time to say... I love you, my friend. Don't go... please stay. Powerful piece... I really enjoied it, but I truly am sorry for your loss...  *Until you find something worth dying for, you're not really living* |
