With Her


I can't live this loveless lie anymore,
where shadow dreams squeeze my heart,
where hands once held shy from touch,
eyes that saw the same, see worlds apart.

I can't open the doors she's closed
push back the veils of dark she's hung,
dry the tears from my heart,
live in a world without love, anymore.

I've laid my soul to rest,
walked away, left it there,
covered with heartache,
green eyes, red hair,
broken dreams, promises unkept...
I've left it in the bed we share,
with the death of the love we knew,
I've left it with her,
with her...
with
her.

jimmy

sometimes life is just doors.  You describe the sadness of lost love well in this...hope it's not a true happening in your life right now.  Hugs either way!

Wow, I'm glad it's not about you. The feeling is so strong here, I relate too well.

(big hugggsssssss) oh James, I'm so happy this is not about your life either, sweet friend, you have such a loving and golden heart and I know your love will always be blessed to share all your dreams with you! (sigh) This is sad but lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

JWesley...This is incredibly poignant. You write as if this experience has touched your life at some point. Wonderful expression and haunting ending.  It's nice to see the work of an old friend.  ***Ivy Rose
