Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2003-07-21 02:23 PM



You asked me for my thoughts
My emotions are on trial
What am I supposed to say to you
To answer a fight I cannot win
He stayed for months in the bed
That we for nine years shared
Yet in your time of need
My life put on hold
I am shunned once again
Banished to the outside
As a common thief in the night
Used and released into the wild
Only asked back into the fold
So you can discuss the one you were with
And watching the sunrise on your return
From finding him in a bar
While I remained true to the dream
Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning
When you said we could make it work
Put our lives together again
A promise was made
For truth, honest, and love
The fault being mine after all
Trusting love in a jackal
Who cares for herself least of all

We see the light of those
Who find the world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream from growing cold...

Goodness . . .
flip this around a bit and it
sounds pretty familiar . . .
God Brad . . .
sigh . . . I do know - I do
Like to see you back here
and writing beautifully

Brad, at times like this, nothing we say will
be right for that person......
Who cares for herself least of all

It does hurt, doesn't it?  
Heart hugs to you, friend

Sue and Ethel- Thanks for the kind words.

We see the light of those
Who find the world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream from growing cold...
