A Mermaids Tale Ocean so vast, natures glory perfect place to tell my story. Endless horizon melts to blue water, like passions, still but true. Such awesome beauty should be shared with someone right if he so cared. A few miles down, a perfect place where we could lay, create our space. If he but came with love, as I instead I'm in a living lie Though we do have our special thing the other one is in the wings. She has more power than I knew prevents most all we hoped to do. He goes to her when through with me I want so much that cannot be. I want to lay on sandy shore, I want his love and so much more. His passion, yes, his fire too I want him here when day is through. I want to show him how it is. Instead I weep, I am not his. I want to lay under the stars and take him to that place so far. The place of joy and freedoms play a haven that blows cares away. I want to bathe in his moonlight and hold his hand through every night. He doesn't want the same from me this truth it hurts so much to see. Waves crashing now, closer to shore take me away to nevermore. How much I long to walk in deep and give the sea my soul to keep. I started there in days long past a mermaid sent to land at last. To find true love is why I came but this time love appears a game. A game of love and lust and need. I always love, I always bleed. I want him now to hold me there within his arms, my man who dares. A man so strong, of bravest soul of body, mind and heart of gold. He's all of these and more to me, my man of steel, he's just not free. I came to him too late it seems though loving him was all I'd need. Its not what he wants anymore and I feel close to nevermore. His briefest touch makes magic live his power lies in what he gives. I understand his darker side the reason is, we're of a kind. There's darkness there within me too. Like him, my love is misty blue. I want him now to walk with me return to peace within the sea. Yet little ones depend on us we cannot run, we have their trust. So dream I will, and make a plan through much travail, these feelings stand. And still I sit and have to cry for very soon we say goodbye. I have to say these things to him, he needs to know just where I've been. I've been in love those times before, but not like this, down to my core. I want to lay within his heart and know we won't be pried apart. Is he aware a mermaids gift is his to take if he'd just lift, and raise his head to see what's here? The truth of it would be so clear. Perhaps I ask for much in vain but then, perhaps, I've all to gain. I will not rest my weary soul till this is done and he will know. Tonight I will lay down with him and show him what I mean to give if he cannot or will not take the bounteous sea will seal my fate. No more a nymph out of her realm I shall return, re-weave my spell Let Neptune come and hold my hand, my father still, he understands. If love not be a friend to me I'll keep my trust within the sea. PS to all my friends who have been wishing me the best in this endeavor, it only got worse after this..And no I am not suicidal, just very sad |

My friend, I am so sorry to see you this way but I know that you will find your happiness. The pain is never easy but with each new pain comes some new strength when all is said and done. I am leaving you a little something that will hopefully lift your spirits some. Hugs to you my friend. Dreams Build your dreams on foundations of stone This is the message so many wise men say Plan it work it and tweek it for it is yours to own Don't live life as if your future is in yesterday Set your goals with happiness in life as your final win Tempt not fate against the will of dangerous ventures lost Find the love of your heart and never look back again Hold true to that love and never give it up at any cost Many things in life will come full circle around to you Many offers of pleasure will surface each and every day Remember this though as you walk into this day anew All those temptations are there to steal your true love away Faithfulness to your heart and to the one that you love Will bring you the happiness that you have so often sought A true love in spirit and heart is sent from the heavens above It is what many times over men and women have so often fought So start this day as you wake up to the sun and the breeze Go out into the world with a plan for all your dreams Walk in the light of your well thought out plan with ease Knowing that your devotion to your love is all that it seems My wish for you all is that you will all find in your life The happiness I have found in the recent love of my own My day has come to finally be set free and end my strife As all of my dreams are now coming to me ready to be sewn Mark Bohannan |

Sandra, My tears set free, shed for you and the pain you're going through how I wish that as your friend I could help your tears to end hold my hand and don't let go don't let him treat you so you can be strong, I've seen before please bounce back or I'll get sore I don't want to see you scream and shout so here at passions let the pain run out.

catalinamoon, I am also in the type of relationship you speak of but I am the one on the other side. No matter what the situation, it is hard to love with all your being and not know if you have these feelings returned. I feel for you as I do myself. The pain is there but one day the happiness will return, either way. I really look forward to that day. Take care of yourself and try to find positives to concentrate on. I know it's easier said than done. Hugs to you, Dee |

Sandra, take care of your heart, your time will come, as surely as the sea rushes to the shore. All I can offer and it's not much is this little quote. 'You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Be at peace with your God, whomsoever you conceive him to be. Strive to be happy, it is still a beautiful world.' Take care Marsha |

catalinamoon, Yor words are so sad and touching. I know it is easy to say and hard to believe but it really does get better. I've been to the bottom and back and hope you will soon find your way back up as well. |

Icq, I'm on all night E-mail and back I'll write The pain we cause to those who care Isn't always what is fair And your gift of love you tried to give Speaks clearly of the life I live If you want someone walking down that road My eyes ((to read)) and shoulders are yours on loan.... It hurts but it does get kinda better.. May the luck of the Irish be with you.< !signature--> With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. [This message has been edited by Broken_Winged_Angel (edited 10-18-2000).] |
