~Shadows Dance~ Day and night...dark and light... shadows dance just below the surface of my skin, rage screaming to get out...compassion begging to get in. Lost in an abyss of loneliness, needing to find distance from this pain. Reality knows no reasons, denial alone-fights to keep me sane. Looking for me...what's left of who she use to be, she existed before there was this need for you. Now she needs her own reasons to help her find her way thru. No second chance...just one last glance... all our pain passes by on parade. Illusions then fade as the lies break all of the promises made. This love cast aside, with all the tears that I cried, only the silence can shatter the solitude... a once treasured union-now seems destined to so painfully conclude. Day and night...dark and light... shadows still dance beneath the surface of my skin... heartache needing desperately to be let out... forgiveness needing to be let in. Janet Marie Now for me some words come easy... But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch. You never knew what I loved in you-- I don't know what you loved in me... Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... How long have I been sleeping- How long have I been drifting alone through the night... How long have I've dreaming I could make it right... If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might To be the one you need... Jackson Browne |

Mistik... thanks...you made me smile...I hope you feel better too...I promise its not as bad as it seems...I'm not feeling as "dark" as this poem implies...somtimes the words just come to me...very often they are inspired by the talented and emotion filled work of others I read in here... this place is amazing. take care, janet marie Now for me some words come easy... But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch. You never knew what I loved in you-- I don't know what you loved in me... Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... How long have I been sleeping- How long have I been drifting alone through the night...

Very nice Janet Marie...I especially enjoyed the lines..heartache needing to be desperately let out...forgiveness needing to be let in. I believe the quicker we deal with these subjects the sooner we can go on to enjoy our happiness and new experiences. I always have a hard time with heartache. James |

"Lost is an Abyss of loneliness" Such emotion, and it spills out from beginning to end. Isn't it sad that the enemy of promises is lies. Really enjoyed reading this. Nice work! Danny |

Reality knows no reasons, denial alone-fights to keep me sane. I really liked that, it fits with what hi have begun to accept as of late. Thanks There's a peace inside us all Let it be your friend It will help you carry on In the end There's a peace inside us all -Creed |

Your pain and emptiness is so evident in everything you write. You have my empathy and compassion. Beautiful, but sad. Michael |
