In the dark
I see your face...
it rivals the
night.

The memories are
daggers
borring into me
and I cannot
stop it.

You always find
me
No matter where
I go.

Your eyes haunt me
caress me
shame me
and I cannot
look away.

I can feel you
on my
skin,
full of heat.

Lingering gazes
burn me
with only a
memory.

Look away from me!

I want to see
the moon
again.

I want to
sleep
without you
in my dreams.


In the dark
I see your face...
it rivals the
night.

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Some of the most profound lessons learned are those taught through pain, very well said!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Angela, this is so very sad, my heart goes out to you and I hope now you have found true love that overshadows those sad memories and makes you want to dream of him at night! (sigh) This is sad but wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Angela, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
