Passionately tender,
Hope ensnared,
A heartfelt love beyond compare.
Whisper sweet, my words awhile,
Say not your curtains, the view defiles.
For sword cast anger as a wanton spirit,
Listelessly advised, I refused to hear it.
Captured true insomnia's glare,
From hand, this pen, wrenched a tear.
Needing to go, but willing to stay,
Which way will I take, how will I sway?

Decisions pondered are ill excuses to run, and sometimes we are only running from ourselves.

Even bamboo breaks! Listen to your inner voice as it was put there for a good reason, and one would be to protect a heart from breaking, or doing things we do not wish to do in order ot appease others. amen - he he
