--- So Much I Could Say --- Should I thank you for fighting me And tearing my confidence away from me, To hold it and keep it safe, until I knew How valuable it was. How valuable I was. Or should I curse you for taking me To such a high place, though you knew My fear, knew that I had fallen so far, So many times. Knew how much that fall hurts. Or should I console you and tell you that It's okay, that I forgive you for letting me fall. That I know you couldn't have meant to hurt me so, That you could never have known how fragile I really was. Or should I just speak to the others that may Come. Tell them to go. To save the effort. That a standard has been set that is as unreachable As the desert horizon on an Arizona summer night. Perhaps I'll just keep all of that inside. Keep emotions where they belong, safely locked away. And simply swallow hard, choke back a few more tears And say one more goodbye. Goodbye my love, goodbye. [This message has been edited by The Lonely Stranger (edited 10-05-2000).] |

Don't keep the hurt inside Your pain must not be denied |

Your pain is felt sincerely. Never give up though!! Sometimes we just chose the wrong mate. Great writing! |

Don't ever let yourself give up, when you feel down and it's because of someone else, just think 'there was little I could do about it - F*** em' . Never let life get the better of you, Your a great poet and I realy enjoyed reading this one . L.of.L. Tom . Don't try, do or do not, there is no try . - Master Yoda - |

Thank you all for the kind words. The poem was real, the emotion was real but the time was long ago...... I am much better now |

This is so sad, I've been there before. It's well writen too Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

There was no doubt that the emotions were real...the sheer force of them on the page told the story. Extremely well written and I'm very happy to know you've moved past this point~ |
