"Never-Ending Love"

Quietly I watch as you sleep
Your elegant sillouette laying softly on the bed
As a hundred scattered thoughts
Suffocate my cluttered head

She threatens to shred us apart
With her cruel tongue and even cruel ways
Until the day our beautiful love
Is carelessly washed away

I sit powerless, not knowing what to do
As you softly awake and our eyes meet
Trying to give a voice to my thoughts
Only to realize I'm unable to speak

In this time of desperate need
I cling to the last ray of hope with all my might
Daring myself to just hang on another day
Finding a way to stand up and fight

But trials and tribulations
Make the soul weary and weak
That last ray of hope
However, I still yearningly seek

Something greater than the two of us
Had our paths collide and merge as one
I realized I was far in love with you
Before our journey of love had even begun

No going back in time
No sense in looking to tomorrow
For today is all we have
I want it to be filled with happiness, and not such bitter sorrow

Feeling your eyes on me
I softly glance your way
The love that I feel in my heart
Completely has me swept away

But the door is slamming shut
And the walls are closing in
I grasp to a rope that doesn't exist
However, never will I feel our love is a sin

They can beat me and burn me
But my soul and heart they can never take
They can torture and harrass me
But the love I feel for you they can never break

No matter what happens in the end
Whether we end up together or not
I need you to know an eternal place
You shall always have inside of my heart

I love you.
Amy M. Kennedy

Amy love, Firstly this is another of your utter wonders, you have such an amazing way of writing truth, and loves beauty. Absolutely wonderful work from you here.
Secondly, hold onto your dreams sweetie, they are going to come true. For true love, will overcome all obstacles in your path. As I've said before, destiny would never have given you this love if it wasn't meant to be. No river too deep no mountain to high, you will get there. And each time someone tries to break the links they will be forged again in love, unbroken is the circle, and unending will be your joy.
Take care love
                   Mushy.

What a pouring of the heart this one is.  There is no way to take love away from two who share it and those that would try should try first to understand how it would feel to have theirs disputed.  Excellent write.

(sigh) What a very true and well-said message. Pain and hurt are all stages of life that we must live through, but we all have a heart and a love that can never be taken. Your dreams will come true, and you will find true love that will blossom in you. You have such a beautiful heart, my friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

that's because we are ~~~~~  ...thank
you for taking time to read and respond
to this. you know how much it means to me.

mark~
as always your replies light up my
day. and you are SO right...no one should
try to take true love away. but if only
things in life were as they should be.
however, with love from up above and the
strength from within, one I feel can get
through anything. thanks for stopping by.

kit~

nothing but sheer delight. i consider you
very talented, and to know you think
highly of my work is quite a honor. i
sincerely mean that. glad to know i
touched your heart. you have touched mine

Noah~
hi. i don't think i've read your work
before...but if it is as beautiful as
this reply was, then i surely will be!
what a wonderul thing you have said!

thank you all for putting a little
heaven into my day

love ya,
amy
