Absent

what keeps
us so
far apart
this absence
breaks my heart
at night
I sleep in
your dreams
there found
in the loss
of extremes
if you
only knew it
is where
I belong
how can
loving another
be so wrong
one can
change everything
with such
I never knew
I could miss
anyone so much

There in lies the rub...sorry.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Good things come in small packages....good and wistful things come in very small packages....

Didn't want to enjoy, but I enjoyed anyway...

Helen,  this one tugs heavily on the heart.
Well written, but wrenching of the old
ticker.

I said I'm going to buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for

Helen, this is so hurtful. Leaving so much
pain when someone loves another and they are gone.
