We Could've Made It Anyway You always used to tease me and place temptation in my way Your heart called to me and begged me to come out and play Where did I go wrong, did I surrender far too quickly for you And why if you didn't mean it, tell me that your love was true I just don't understand the rules of this pain filled lying game And even though my heart is crying she calls for you the same No butterfly light footsteps across this my bleeding crushed heart But your hob nailed boots are hurting and this is just the start I wonder if when you first summoned I was too free with my soul But now she's fled for her saftey and where she was there's a hole I'm bloodied and I'm bowed and crushed with the pain of it all But I will rise up again, my heart will once more hear loves call For without hope, without dreams I would give it all up and flee So I'll chase my dreams and watch hope returning again for me And I will survive and grow strong, until I like the phoenix rise From the flames of hearts pain I will be the wonder of my eyes I'll not moan and wail for this is a valuable lesson you've taught Next time I'll make it harder for my fragile heart to be caught And when I offer my all to the next heart that beckons me on I'll make sure first that we both want to sing the self-same song The lyrics mean the same and the harmony is one we can sing I don't ask for much just some happiness into my soul to bring No impossible goals, no high ambitions to be famous and great I don't even ask for love to be handed to me on a silver plate A part of me will forever hear your voice within my sore heart But perhaps it was inevitable that we should eventually part For this fire burnt so hot, its incandescence put the stars to shame Maybe it would have burnt itself out flickering just the same And maybe you've called time to save yourself the terrible pain Or maybe you're frightened of being hurt yourself all over again All I say, as I sit here and watch my world turns back to its grey Is if only you'd had faith in my heart we could've made it anyway Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 12-31-2000).] |

Oh, Marsha, I hope this isn't autobiographical, but it sure sounds like it is. This was a beautiful rendition of the pain of a relationship gone wrong. Take care. May you find all the things you deserve in the new year. |

Marsha you have covered every possibility...I know the pain when you want it to work so bad and it goes bad...and you find the more you gave the more you hurt...and I suppose we do learn hard lessons and give more carefully...James |

Mark my friend, thank you although you'll never convince me. I simply cannot see that there's been any change, although I know there's a difference because everything changes. It's a part of it's natural progression, but I'll take your word for it. Oh and I'm sorry I'm just a little weary from New Years celebrations, so my mind never the sharpest of tools, seems to be running in a slower gear than normal, which is why I submitted after Sven instead of continuing. Thank you again Take care Mushy Karen love, thank you so very much, it happens, it's all a part of lifes rich and varied tapestry. Either I can run for cover, or I can face the future, I prefer to face the future. Take care and keep your chin up Smile and shine Mushy LL, oh love, how I feel for you, I'm sorry for the tears. But there will be a brighter future, you know how I feel about destiny, somewhere somehow all those who live in need or seek will be given what they need or find what they seek. Take care and may you find it and hold it true Take care Mushy Sandra love, yes it is and but I look to the future, it has possibilities. I've sat in the vale of tears and heartache, love isn't there, she is sitting in the open awaiting me. So I go in search of her. Take care Mushy Eagle One love, I think you might be bias perhaps, Mmmm, just a little bit. Thank you so very muchly for being bias though I truly do appreciate it. Take care Mushy James, thank you, next time will come, and when it does I shall be open to the possibilities Thank you very muchly Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

P T love, where would I be without you, don't answer that, I know. You know I thank you muchly, although I know absolutely nothing about putting this to music kid, I wouldn't even know where to start. So if you want to love, be my guest.  I'd be really honoured.You and Kari must have slipped in while I was typing the replies, very slowly I must admit. And I had an E mail I just had to return love. Sorry neither of you are an after thought I assure you Take care love Mushy Kari love, thank you so very muchly, I'll E you tomorrow, are you back tomorrow? I'm not another day off. Oh wow, I'll be drunk on freedom and idleness. Take care kid Majestic and Smiling Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Margie girl, I'll pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again. Yes There Is Always A Next Time, and I'll be ready because a heart that's open may make mistakes but a closed heart dies in the cold.

I feel so bad for the pain you feel. It touches my heart deeply, for I have been there, and I know how much it tears at your soul. In time you move on but you never, ever forget. Here's wishing you a wonderful new year filled to the brim with happiness. Hugs,Deb |
