"Confusion"

My soul is tired, head full of thoughts
This confusion swirls around and around
Heart feels heavy, mind shouting out
Spirit feels broken, lying on ground

Pain has taken it's toll
And painted my soul blue
I am so completely lost
Without the presence of you

Thought I was stronger
Afraid I am not
In a web full of lies
I have been caught

You have to be strong and fight for you
I now see this isn't my fight
Can't do it for you...it's all up to you
If I continue to do so, it wouldn't be right

Heart is weary, body feels cold
Missing you so much, as the wounds bleed
Never knew I could love another so deeply
Didn't know the depth of my own need

Had no idea I needed someone to need me like this
However, you must stand up to her or we will never be free
My eyes are finally open
As heart and head see

*amy's note...i am leaving passions for a while.
i will miss you all very much, but i need some
time away. my words hurt too much to write as
they are a direct reflection of my heart. when
i write, i think, and when i think i feel. and
it seems i've been doing way too much of that
lately. of course i will still be reading all of
the beauiful work that is posted here, but as
for my writing, this here poet is laying her pen
down for a while. love ya all.
take care.

This is such a pain-filled piece. I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time. Writing always helps me feel better, but you should do whatever works for you. I hope that things work out really soon. I'll miss your great poetry. I know that I haven't been replying a lot in here, but I do read, and I know that you have a lot of talent. Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us, and we'll miss you!   Best of luck.

You have to be strong and fight for you
I now see this isn't my fight
Can't do it for you...it's all up to you
If I continue to do so, it wouldn't be right

Heart is weary, body feels cold
Missing you so much, as the wounds bleed
Never knew I could love another so deeply
Didn't know the depth of my own need
===============
your right Am, we cant fight their battles for them...we can fight with them, beside them, support them..but we cant help them till they are ready to help themselves...
everyone gets stronger in their own time ...try to be patient though I know its very hard..
as for you laying down your pen...
do what you need to do for now ...
you are a poet...you purge, bleed and then heal thru your words...
one of the true gifts of poetry is it is ever faithful...always here ...
when your ready, when you need it ...
your pen and gift will be waiting...
so will we.
one day at a time sweetie.
love ya sunshine

I shall miss you Amy. You write with your heart and it shows in your words, each one of which I feel. I understand your reasons for taking a break, I wish you well and hope you find the peace you so richly deserve. Take care

Hey, Aim.  Sometimes we have to do what will take our minds off of the pain for a bit.  I know you will be fine because I know what a strong woman you are, girlie.  So, you take care, and we'll miss reading your beautiful work 'round here.  We'll be waiting for ya!!

Amy, through the mist of confusion flies a dove aloft...searching...for what she will find when land comes into view...

we'll be here...
waiting for you...

find peace, little one...

My heart aches for the pain you are feeling in this poem. It will be sad for you to put the pen down, dear one, as writing can be such a help to get the pain out. Blessings to you and I hope to read more of your work soon.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. [URL=http://path2riches.com]http://path2riches.com

Oh Amy ... this is so tender and heart-wrenching. Please take care, and know that we will all be here, waiting for the time you wish to share your words again. Writing is such wonderful therapy for me, but I too have times when I place the pen down and take a rest. I'll be thinking about you, and praying all is well.

Best wishes,
/Kit

You all are all that a girl could
ask for and more. I love you all
much, my other family. During the last
eight months of writing and reading here,
i have met many wonderful people and
developed some amazing friendships, you
all know who you are. But everyone here
at Passions helps to make this not just
a poetry forum, but a true home. I thank
all of you, and I too pray my words will
at some point return. I love writing!

take care sweet poets.

Sweet Amy, I have to agree with JM, you have to let them fight themselves, you can't do it for them.
This is so very sad my dear *hugs*
and please don't lay down your pen.
