I no longer sing to your glory
the melody you begged me by
authority

I no longer write with intent to
incite your heart to love that
knew me not from the start

I am no longer slave
to inticing deprave
that string precious jewels
into a mockery of fools

And although my eye
caught your fame scrolling by,  
memories hold me away
due to countless denies

& I've finally come to know why

I could never be what you conjure
in dreams nor be anything sweeter
than perfection- should you meet her,

Will she then too
demand flawless from you
and shall you become too like me
and forget how to sing?

I know this feeling. I guess I wasn't the creme of the crop. Or didn't have enough money, or educated enough..or is that edumacated? You know the U of R. Universtity of Redneck. Right here deep in the Heart of Texas. Yep, that's probably what it was. My geological standing was not up to standard. That's what I really like about love it sees passed all of that, and finds the good in spite of!
Love,
Terri~

memories hold me away
due to countless denies

I would never wish anyone to feel the way
I have been made to feel at times...
Goodness though,  do I ever understand what you're saying here.  You made it sound so beautiful!!

Bravo Tiersdin!

Ah, very good...

what he wanted from you.

(big hugggssssssss) You always write with pure heart, sweet friend, I hate feeling this way but if I had to choose being a slave of something, it would be to the fear of joy! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet R.T, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

YOu have painted these emotions vividly...
It's easy to question ourselves, but never doubt that the blindness was not yours
