Give me the reason
Give me the reason you did this to me
Open my eyes, help me to see

Tell me the story
Tell me the story that you've told before
It will still be a lie after you're through the door

Make me believe
Make me believe that I'm still in your heart
If not, then leave, so I can make a new start.

Kiss me again
Kiss me again and let me wonder why
Why I ever loved you, when all you do is make me cry

Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart and walk away
Walk away and let me face the new day. . .

                            . . . alone



 That which gives light must endure burning

This poem really struck me.  Just recently I was in a situation where I had to let someone down.  I loved them so much, but for many specific reasons I could not stay with them- It was for the best.  Your poem made me realize how he may feel now, and it makes me sad.  Thank you for showing me the other side of my actions.

Sven hon another beauty.  But may I ask do you really hurt so bad for so long about her?  You must feel some anger?  You should try and get that out too?  Hope I'm not overstepping the boundaries, it only comes from caring.  ((HUGS))  

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

I know how much you have suffered..

I know that you are not numb of the pain love brings..

Find yourself, Sven..

Do not forget, to bring along  a wonderful friend..  

..........

There is no more turning back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They've torn the lifeblood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn..

     -Sarah McLachlan
