love,

why did we invest all those years
into a four-letter lie?

the glow of lamplight
fell upon our last embrace
confirming what we already knew

we were twenty-one years too soon,
one hundred years too late

(sigh) This is soooooo very powerful, sweet friend, I can feel a little frustration behind these words and hope everything is alright and to you your love is true to you! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ivy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ivy, How sadly, you write. You bring tears to my eyes. The illusion, called love, is likely the most deceptively evil and hurtful four letter word used by man to hurt woman. Thank you for sharing a little part of your soul.
