if i don’t crawl softly into
your thoughts
into your missing and wanting
then i just don’t
if you don’t think
at least now and then
that it would be nice
to hear my voice
then you just don’t
if the heat we created
no longer warms your
coldness
if your heart doesn’t ache
at night for mine
to be near
then
it just
doesn’t

grabbing the last kleenex
and rolling my eyes as i
toss the empty
box
i swipe away the tear
that threatens to take a dive
and softly curse my lack of control…
i look at the time
and shrug
i guess its time to go home
and reluctantly i
lock my door

what it is, it is... what it isn't, it isn't... what it was, well, that's just what it was... today is today, yesterday is yesterday and everything is everything..usually, except when it's not anything....sucks sometimes, huh? (LOL... don't know if any of that makes sense, but your poem sure did!!)

you've said a lot here... yep... but hey, before you toss the box, could you email me a kleenex?

*wink*

nice work, corozan

Corazon~
     My friend, you got more than one tear out of me, dear.  I know the heartache, and it tears you up inside, but I learned to take a deep breath, close my eyes, and take a step forward.  Every step after that one gets a little easier.  

Love Ya~

~you reached inside, you touched my heart,
and I am all the better for it~

If I don't crawl softly into your thoughts
           when we're apart
then I wonder if my presence was ever counted
      by the keeper of your heart.

Enjoyed reading your poem. Nice writing!

I too share your pain and I have some tears for you.  It does hurt I know, but it will turn someday into just a lost memory.  Hope the pain leaves you soon.  Wonderful, heartfelt words.

Well expressed emotions...and in the sadness I see a little anger...that's good...

I guess some words never really came from the heart..

I guess some feelings never really touched the owner's heart..

I guess the aches, the losses and the tears just never touch the memory of another..

I guess words spoken once with such love and care are now forgotten ..

I guess it's easiest that way, for some..

As I shake my head...another one bites the dust..

Kleenex shares have gone up by 0.2 (sharing a tear with you and a smile..
