No Promises < !signature-->Amy M. Kennedy i long to be with you, forever in your arms forever i want to love you, escape from it all you love me, but are not in love with me so my heart has begun its journey...fall fall fall i knew the stakes going in but i don't control my heart you didn't hurt me i hurt myself i don't want us to fall apart you were never mine to begin with no promises did you make everyday i fall harder i can't sleep, just lay here wide awake thoughts of you and i drift lazily through my mind and i'm taken to a more simpler place and time i'm told take this one day at a time so i pretend, can do it with the best just friends, is that what you want? feel like my heart is being given a test when i tried to let you go you cried out in pain said i broke your heart now im the one left in the rain i knew this wouldn't be easy it all happened so fast the future and present blur together with the past i am not mad at you i could never be do i let you go or hold on tight keep you as mine, or let you take flight you don't want me to free you pulling yourself closer to me so i close my eyes and wish again that our love will last all eternity *sorry not one of my best. i got a lot of tangled feelings im dealing with. my writing isn't at its peak. "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 06-16-2000).] |

Amy, never apoligise for feelings from the heart. It sounds like you got wrapped up in relationship where you knew the stakes, but didn't want to have to deal with it. A great many of us have been there. Good luck and take care. Marina |

On the contrary Aimster.. Your writing is spectacular. I know these feelings that you are experiencing all to well. Giving you your advice back, follow your heart. It will never steer you wrong. No apologies necessary. Excellent work!! I wish you the best on your journey.. A Dream is a Wish the Heart Makes... |

The feelings are still there Amy and the reader can appreciate them. God bless you for making the effort to put them into words. Words come hard through emotional down times. Keep up the good work! |

I agree with MysticalNights, sometimes thoses feelings whicha re closest to our hearts are the hardest to express, though the words don't come easily it helps to push the pain on to the pain. Wonderfully written, excellent poem. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |

we write what we feel ... when we write ... we heal. never apologize for honest emotions... keep em coming amy-girl love ya jm It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving (How one move just puts me by myself) There you go just trusting someone else (Now I know I put us both through hell) ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong (I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me) And I'm not sayin (We ever had the right to hold on) (I just didn't wanna let you get away from me) ~MB20~ She says baby, It's 3AM ... I must be lonely, When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it. ~MB20~ |

Amy, So sorry to read this one....so sad. I am sure you are having many emotions right now...all at once. Keep on writing...it will help you sort them out. Take care. LW Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |
