I never thought it would be this way,
But I lie lost in what i feel today,
Becuase I cant change the things you say,
That break my heart so softly.

Hopes dont fall as one would think,
Crashing to the floor,
But float above, just in case,
I let you in once more.

Pian doesnt stab as once described,
But lives somewhere deep inside,
Breathing still with ever tear,
Becuase I choose to keep you here.

Somehow the silence doesnt sleep,
Yet wakes me in the night,
To turn to you and fall apart,
Knowing that I am right.

Tears arent warm as they spill,
But freeze my love in place,
As you stare into my eyes,
And lie striaght to my face.

I cannot change the things youve done,
I no longer can be strong,
I only wish to ask myself,
How did i make it this long?

So tender is the heart consumed in love.  It makes it so much harder to start down that
path of a new promise.  Great read and wonderful imagery.

I really enjoyed reading this poem, but it hurt me... It triggered old memories. Well done!
