LOOKING IN love does not long survive when it is kept outside the heart I believe you love me as you have loved others but you can not love us long or well because you can not invite us in you have given over too much room within you to darker things I will not force my way in or beg but bide yet a while in this meager warmth which comes from hope |

thanks everyone, actually this is one of a group of dark-themed pieces which I add to on occasion. Collectively, they're called "the dead heart chronicles". Would you believe, this is one of the lighter ones?---you know, therapy stuff. |

A heart that's closed will only view love from without... Nicely said, Constance...  |

Constance, sounds like love is not being too kind, and the man that you love holds you at arms length. Love is a mutual thing, which should come naturally; true love will come without the begging and hurt of wonder. Take care. Good read. Rick |
