Again

You spent too little time
In these arms of mine
To question their emptiness now.
To many words
Of mine went unheard
To begin to explain just how
Each tear I cried
Was for something
That died
Deep within me
Buried
In pain.
And to set them free now,
Well I don’t know just how
But I so want
To live
Again.

Could we start out anew?
A fresh me and you.
Could we again say the word “friend”?
Might there be common ground
Somewhere
To be found.
Where we
Might sit
Hand in hand.
And speak of a love
That rises above
The hurt we each caused
Oh, the pain.
And maybe with time
You will fill
Arms of mine,
And together we will
Live
Again.

I pray that it you both start anew. Love would be so sad for both of you to loose when you have had it. Thank you so much for this sensitive read.

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

yes, my feelings about this too..when love breaks down it is so difficult to restore. the love by both must be very strong to recover. good luck.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

I truly hope you can find that common ground.
This is a wonderfully written piece from your heart.

Thank you all. More of a wistful piece, as I don't see it happening. The next months I expect will be full of wistful thoughts, as I go though a divorce. Please be tolerant of the quiet ravings. Thank you again, my friends.

==================
very well expressed emotions laced with in your well done rhyme...
you ask all the right question of a heart at this stage of a relationship
well written work
take care

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

Seraphin

rant, rave
find a cave
shout, cry
gentle sighs
in the end
come to friends
come home
don't roam
we're here
never fear
calm we'll be
in harmony
this haven
your home

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

The strangest things...I've spent 14 years married to a man that didn't know I write. Such a major part of my life has been tied up in words, and he never noticed. Thank you for your words. We are an unusual class of people in that we truly know the power of the written word.
