To You


My smile was just plastic
It never reached my eyes
For they were to tired
From All the nights they cried

My stride progressed in lonliness
My chin a burdon to lift
My heart beat less and less each day
For you I longed, I missed

Wrap your arms around me
Hold me close the way you do
Tell me of tomorrows
Filled with only me and you

Wipe away the sorrow
and all the stains from tears
Give back my security
Of knowing your right here

Nice poem, so full of feeling.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

This was so beautiful yet so sad, I felt your longing and love within each line.
Take care......Sue

Connie -- this has got to be excruciating...  I can vaguely relate from a different perspective, but I wonder if the situation was ever put on the table and discussed or simply kept discreet with the painful hopes of it resolving itself...?
