~*~

Come close,
Lay your head upon my chest...
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the tripping
Of my broken heart?

Listen,
Be very, very still...
Can you hear it?
Can you hear what my heart
Is trying to say?

Hush now,
Open up your soul...
Can you sense it?
Can you sense the lonliness
In this empty heart of mine?

Noah ~

Thank you for caring, Sweetums! I just had a flashback but I have grown and am my own person now! I am strong, independent and a survivor of a broken heart.

Good morning, Dear Troubador! I'm not sad anymore. I blossomed into a beautiful butterfly and I fly free and happy now.
No more sad face! I put that painful period of my life behind me! It's now onward and upward with a smile on this cherubic face!

Warm hugs,
EA

You Go Girl!!!!! Fly free and high.

I honestly believe that in order to stay free and strong, we must every now and then remember from whence we came.

Hush now,
Open up your soul...

Nancy ~

That was a lovely thing to say! Thank you!

I have come so far from those very sad days. I rejoice in the new life that I have made for myself and realizing that not only am I a survivor, but I am a thriver!

And yes, it is a glorious sunny Monday morning--and it matches my outlook on life!

Huggums,
Linda

Not many people can... but when you find someone who does, the loneliness is no more... and every moment of the wait is worth it. *S*

I like this very much, EA! *S*

Such a kind reply is all the more meaningful when it comes from the pen of someone who writes so poignantly on pains of the heart.

Warm hugs,

Are you saying that you want my heart?!? ~ you already have it!

--You are so sweet doctor T.!--but I'm all better now and I'm flying high in the sky!

I love your enthusiastic replies---but in this case it saddens me that you can identify with this one about a broken heart.

Special lovin' hugs,
Linda
