I never could have done it on my own.
No matter what I would have tried
the results would have been all wrong.
I was wandering in a place
where light and truth just don't belong.
But you braved the dark and entered in
and you offered me your song.

~~

I was trapped inside these prison walls
looking out through smiling eyes.
So proud I was, for I was hidden well,
in the cleverest of disguise.
But you saw me for the fraud I was
and you laid bare all my lies.
Then you listened to my hopes and fears
and told me soon the sun would rise.

~~

Now I'm looking out on a brand new day.
I'm ready to face the sunshine
and take whatever comes my way.
When sorrows arise I won't choose to hide
for now I have the strength to stay.
With you by my side and your hand in mine,
I know everything will be okay.

~~

This is very touching.

I was trapped inside these prison walls
looking out through smiling eyes.
So proud I was, for I was hidden well,
in the cleverest of disguise.

So many of us live in those prison walls, and it takes someone very special to draw us out. You have obviously found that. I'm happy for you

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Let it progress. Someone wonderful stepped into your space, and pulled you from a dark corner. A good poem, Stacey.

Lovely, moving, touching, beautiful
Heather (CherokeeGirl)

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.
