Between the Lines

0 posted 2002-06-16 04:11 PM





For every drop of rain that falls
tomorrows dreams wash further away.

I've had my season of love,
maybe one too many, enhancing my life,
flavoring it with zest, changing my taste,
but always craving more.

I wear you in my touch, remembering
the first time, allowing that feel of you
to carry me off each night to my world of dreams,
where reality is held timeless
and you can never say goodbye.

I fill my empty with the tiniest notions,
of what could be, if only.
I am weary of love's song,
wondering if it was ever written for me
or has my time passed?

But you see, I love the all of you,
the dark and the light,
the sad side of you and the unexpected.
I hold out only because I can't let go,
there is something there, stealing my want,
shying me to others, making my heart
beat out your name.

If only you could see this, feel this,
want this to be yours, alone,
then I know, I know my mind would accept,
would allow me to live again,
would  stop this sickness from eating away
all that is me.

Another day goes by and still, nothing changes,
no matter the course I take, my body
won't give in to what should be, instead
it drags me further and beyond, shutting out
the positive, no matter how hard I try to think otherwise.

If only something is found, then I can remove the fear.
But how can ones mind do all this damage?
Why won't it let me rebuild my strength?
It is like a thief, a petty one, taking from me daily
without me knowing until now it is too hard
to regain what has been stolen.

The life is being choked out of me
and I can't seem to stop it...
and all I want is not to be alone.

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)

The life is being choked out of me
and I can't seem to stop it...
and all I want is not to be alone.

Our minds are so very strong, Maureen...that fear and emotional pain can actually cause that choking...

A very beautiful poem, but I really hope that the choking goes away.
