Did you hear the sound of my heart
breaking in the silence when the clock
ticked past the twelve of time last night
and you were still not there beside me?

In my heart I knew that a
decision had to be made,
a hand had been dealt
and a card had been played.

          ~No, I did not cry out in anger~
but instead bathed in subtle realizations
that as much as to yourself
you had to be true,
so must I become like you.

I'm not saying that your right
I'm not saying that your wrong
I'm saying that you need to figure out
where you want to belong.

There is no anger
there is no pain,
just a wish for peace
for both of us to gain.

Please don't doubt my love
you know where my heart is at,
but I'm not doing this any more
because I am worth more....         than that.

It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...
{Trace Adkins}

Indeed, you are! You are worth way more than that! You managed to put your strong message across in your customarily gentle manner!

~ Reminds me of the proverbial iron fist in the velvet glove scenario.

I hope all turns out for your highest and best, Dear Donna! You deserve it!

Warm hugs,
Linda

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

"But I'm not doing this any more"

God, how many times have I said that *shaking head*

You go girl! You sound so strong, just when I need it, because I'm in one of my weak moments.

I liked this Aunt Donna, it's just too bad that you had to expirience this, to be able to write about it. Well done.

Tell me, how does it feel, to treat me like you do?~Orgy

How well the title becomes the poem.
How glad I am that you thought to send this
to me,
for my knowing that you will never
stop growing.
