~*~

It's been years since then
however quitely they pass
time takes it's toll on emotions
rolled up into days and silent heartaches
so much left unsaid but never forgotten
and always, I keep you close
like an unmarked grave laid to rest
your being never strays from the leaving
buried memories, overgrown with weeds
the moments linger long after the flowers have died
misplaced from the beginning
what never was or might have been
brushing back a tear
that has no place to fall.

I thought this was a beautiful piece, it was sad yet rather powerful. To write suchas you did, it's amazing... I applaud you

lori,

heartbreaking open honest write...i
felt this one! *hugs*

take care hon.
amy

p.s. "brushing back a tear that has no place to fall" that is such an awesome line, and hits hard! powerful yet graceful, you do that so well.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Lori hon, I know these silent heartaches so well and wish that neither one of us had to know them, but in the end it is these things that make us that much stronger and I see such strength in you sweet poetess.

~ I started out with the intention of quoting my favourite lines and ended up copying the whole poem!

I suppose "brushing back a tear that has no place to fall" was my favourite ~ the  creativity, uniqueness, and Bluseyness of those words...

I love your serenades!
Warm hugs & an understanding smile,
Linda

brushing back a tear
that has no place to fall.

Aw, hon... there's always a place... no farther away than the shoulder of a friend.

Beautiful sadness you've written.

I agree, that line is tremendous. I wish I'd thought of it! This whole poem wrings my heart out, girl... it is excellent.
