Room of Blue She asks me to explain how I feel I go to speak, but no words can I find to say Perhaps I'm tired of the pain I'm feeling Always wishing for a brighter and happier day I should perhaps be more thankful for what I have It's not that I don't care I mean I have a wonderful family, beautiful friends, the love of my life All this love to share Inside though, way down deep, I feel alone I cry inside, even while smiling for the world to see I wonder why I can't let the pain go Everyone else is able to set their heart free In hushed whispers I tell my hearts story I tell of the pain now, and of the pain then Explain about the loss of my mother How it killed me inside to lose my best friend She says I have strength, and have come a long way I wish I could believe that a little more Always feel like I'm traveling in circles Never going anywhere really, always looking for a way to soar Tears that don't quite touch my cheek during the day Come like rain on my pillow at night As I lay awake waiting and waiting For a peak of morning's light I feel surpressed by my fears and insecurities There's just so much emotion, so much to go through I lock myself behind the closed door In my room of blue "love is like a butterfly-- if you chase it, it will surely fly away,instead hold it close and watch it grow into something beautiful" ~me~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (12-18-2003 09:32 AM).] |

Yes, Donna has some good advice... keep writing it out... soon it will become a balm, a salve, as the hurting heals... and the good times flood back with love. |

Captivating poem, Aimster... I fully believe that the way to make love grow stronger is to pour it out. You've done that in this poem, and what a great tribute you gave to your love for your mother, too... Keep writing, I think it is so freeing! |

Aimster I think your room needs a paint job. How about a rose tint with some green trim.  |

Aimster - every word comes from within, it will get better. Writing helps a lot, gets out the deepest of it. My best to you... BC |

One morning at a time . . . Sometimes there is a deep loneliness from something we have lost and for others from something they never had. Sometimes we can turn our weakness into our strength. Keep writing, we'll keep reading . . . |
