Not For Me I gave my heart, would have given more but have learned, it matters not. My thoughts, once saved, released in time, words that meant alot. It's not for me to be in love ill- favored, I guess, am I. Anybody, would do, but me, I felt these words in sigh. A warning or two, I should have known a fantasy t'was all. The first and last my heart would speak, I'm done, I'm finished, this call. Too hard it is, after thirty years, to allow another heart shared. I tried, lost out, I'm not anybody, in love, once thought, once cared. A tantrum thrown, the walls heard screams of wasted feelings, strong. Tinted now in shades of blue, this night will last too long. I gave my heart, would have given more, but love turned it's back on me. Behind this wall, caged in wait, some day, perhaps, to be. "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (edited 05-06-2001).] |

Wynter~ 'A tantrum thrown, the walls heard screams of wasted feelings, strong. Tinted now in shades of blue, this night will last too long.' Emotive discharge of intense feelings ~ *Huggggz* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

"I gave my heart, would have given more but have learned, it matters not." You express your sorrow in words very clearly. One must remember it always matters to the right partner. |

Some day perhaps, though maybe he will read these words and come to his senses. Ya'll shared too much to end like this. |

it's a miserable feeling to feel trapped inside of a wall, worse to be slammed up against it......tear it down and keep writing!!! Kathleen Blake |

I have come to the conclusion that it is not love that fails us...we fail love...and sometimes no matter how hard we try to experience the beauty of love we realize we only have control over our thoughts, desires and emotions and not the object of our love...James |

Very emotional write, Wynter...wonderful expression of these feelings. And, every so often, not too much, I send out a hug to someone if I think they just might need one...so, *HUGS* to you, and real love WILL find you one day, m'friend...  sp  to be with you... |

Maureen, we can only be who we are. . .no more. . .and if love deems us worthy, then we find love. . . it has its own time. . . sad and powerful words. . .  -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

shaking my head and agreeing with Sven....love is what it is and we can only be grateful that we had it while it was here, and not tearful that it went away.........for we knew love, which is a great gift..........I ramble......sorry. Felt this Maureen. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |
