As my soul rests
next to your shadow
It takes a break
while you sleep
The agony
of loving you
takes its toll
on my sprit
Leaving it
restless during the day
Exhausted at night
To love you like I do
To suffer all for you
Is safer to walk away
Tears reach my heart
I love you
but I must let go
of this embrace
that hurts

Beautiful phrasing Walker ... you've captured the sorrow in this decision with grace and tenderness, much enjoyed.

Best wishes,

*sigh* letting go may hurt but sometimes holding on hurts even more. My heart goes out to you. You have written this pain very well.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

walker - this is very moving. This brings back some memories of a relationship that was so hard to let go of I thought that my heart was going to turn inside out. Very good. Chris

I'm not sure if it hurts because you are afraid of commitment or should I say losing your freedom or if it hurts because you know she doesn't share your feelings...James
