State of constant confusion!

0 posted 2001-10-10 09:13 PM


Reaching out from this lifeless state
going through  the motions of every day
life, though you are gone from my arms
I still hold you in my  mind. My dreams
are filled with the comforts you once
offered and it makes waking each morning
a horrible task.

I don't know what set this wheel in motion
this horrible injustice that has taken away
a love that could have given the most ardent
of loves a scare. I can't say what thoughts
you had that made you make the decisions
that you have and I suppose that really isn't
important now. What is important is the fact
that I just can't let you go. I can't get
your vision out of my mind.

Every avenue of my life was changed the day
I met you. You know, all my life I never
thought my dreams would come true, but they did,
I found my dreams in you. And then they were
shattered.

So, what do I do now? How do I go on without
you when it seems I have just now found you?
You are everything I have ever hoped for and
everything I'll ever need. Right by your side
is all I ever want to be.

I know no other way to express the pain I feel
than by saying this...

I love you and I shall always, and even if I
never get to feel your touch again I will
always hold you in my dreams.

I felt angst in this. I was listening to U2 as I read this "Grace" ....'Grace finds beauty, in everything.' Though it was very sadd to read, I found great beauty in this poem. I hope all goes well for you, and that love stops at your door again.

Sweet Jeffrey, oh my goodness.

My goodness.  This is pure verse.
