Time passes slowly within a mind fogged with fear
It has no boundary
Emotions shroud me, overcome with a tear
Nothing more can I bear.

Yet it comes again

Feelings long buried now emerge from the mist
Overcoming a feeling of dread
Love allows me to forgive all the wr ongs of my list
But how much can I forget?

Answers appear as nothing but more questions

To forget the torture is like trying to forget how the sun sets in the west
Yet a force drives me ahead.
I will not let fear get the best
My spirit will not die like the rest

"Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today"

Such deep sorrow coming from a sweet heart, my friend.  I liked the feel of this, especially the single lines between the verses.  I also liked the hope at the end.  Always keep the hope and that cute smile on your face.  Luv ya much, dearie.

Such sadness in this piece.. but the ending shows a turn from lamenting for the past to striving for a bright future. Wonderful poem, Cassie, I love the single lines between verses, also, they provide a nice transisiton. Keep writing my friend, it may help you find more answers!

Many smiles,
Abrahm
