Sitting by the candle light she patiently listens listens to the steady beat of her heart she knows it contains the answers she seeks Thoughts of her lover come to mind, and the tears start Quietly she steps off onto the porch A light rain is falling down Silence surrounds her The beat of her heart is the only sound She closes her eyes Lifts her head to the sky And for the millionth time She asks herself again why Why does she fall in love so fast By now she knows the cost But still she reaches out her hand Hoping her soul she hasn't lost Maybe one day she'll learn if you play with fire you get burned by the flame left with only smoldering ashes after the desire Her mind and heart are at constant war Seems her head is a little smarter But still her heart believes Seems it's the one that's perhaps stronger True love is what she searches for Someone to hold her close at night Thoughts again of her lover drift into her mind A feeling of love washes over her and holds on tight Rain gently pours from the sky Sofly landing on her face and hair Feeling somewhat comforted she starts to cry How much more can her heart take, does she dare? Dare to give this love one more chance Or does she simply walk away She knows in her heart of hearts Just what she'll say I love you, I need you Please don't ever go I see the look of love in your eyes Now you know I know. But you can't keep an angel They are meant to fly So if she has to let them go She'll choke out the words...goodbye ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go but I know I'll think of you every step of the way And I will always love you Will always love you You, my darling you Bittersweet memories, that is all I'm taking with me So goodbye, please don't cry We both know, I'm not what you...you need And I will always love you I will always love you I hope life treats you kind And I hope you have you all dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But of all this, I wish you love" "I Will Always Love You" By: Whitney Houston [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 06-18-2000).] |

excellent poem. i feel what you say. i know those questions so well. reading these lines is like the script of my life. except that i'm, you know, a guy and all. she asks because she fears her voice speaking the answer she knows. she cries beacause it grounds her. the tears are real. they're stability in a world of change. she keeps trying to make the connection because that's what lonely people do.< !signature--> We all got somethin' we need to atone for.

Thanks Ethan for your understanding words and support. you are very kind. take care. amy  "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." |

well, I know where this is coming from. this is one of many strong and soul searching poems from you of late ... your writing has grown so much ... as has your awareness of your heart and what it wants. you already know what I believe the answers to these questions are... but i dont pretend to know all the reasons ... but i do know... everything happends for a reason ... time will tell stay strong and patient amy-girl... somethings are worth waitng for. love ya girl jm |

But you can't keep an angel They are meant to fly So if she has to let them go She'll choke out the words...goodbye ......... Amy, I echo what Janet says here and add that this is a wonderful expressive poem from you... and I like the Whitney song as well... Take Care and my regards, Sudhir |

I liked this also. I do not fall "in love" easily but I find I care deeply for those I have met. One day you will meet the person to share your life with. kitkat |
