I hear you.....
I ache with you
hold your hand
while you cry over a man
that broke your heart
and keeps coming back for the pieces
not quite smashed enough
taking with him
all the love that flows
from your wounded heart
and it makes me angry
to see you hurting
knowing
you are drawn to him
like a moth
to that pretty blue flame
and that you'll burn
every time
loving that which burns you
and so I hold your hand
waiting for you to see
you're no moth
girlfriend
you are a beautiful
Butterfly


......spread your wings.......
and fly


~SEA~

Sometimes we are a moth by choice ...
sometimes we see something special in someone that no one else can see ...
and so we choose to hang on ...
hoping that they can maybe see themselves thru our eyes....
sometimes a friendship and trust can be found in the ashes...
and sometimes we all have our reasons for the things we that we do ...
sometimes things we carry with us make us who we are...
I try to look for the reason and see the why...
Ive been told that blinds me..makes me a moth...
maybe thats my role??
sometimes we need more than anyone can give...

I think we are all moths with the potential to be a butterfly
some of us just take longer to learn how to fly free.

We're all feeding our lonely like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide open if we just find the right words to say.

She is lucky to have you SEA.  May she learn to resist the flame one day.  For it's the only way she'll be set free to fly like the sweet butterfly she really is.  Wonderful and hugs to your friend.

by the grace of God.

Frindships like the one you are working on are forever frindships. We care for life.

You know what...I must thank you for posting this thoughtful poem for your friend because, it is true...there really aren't enough friendship poems out there...thank you for getting some ideas swirling around in my head!  Great write, SEA...I really like this!

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...
