My dream’s become a nightmare,
Unsure of things to come,
I feel that I am haunted,
By what is lost and won.
~
I feel so bloody helpless,
For my soul mates in distress,
I cannot even help her,
Give comfort in this mess.
~
You are boxed and trapped,
In a world so cold and bare,
Pushed by a set of rules,
That lack all human care.
~
So afraid of being human,
You choke your inner soul,
Then ache and fret and pine,
For what’s left a gaping hole.
~
My heart it aches and smolders,
Like a log from end to end,
The anger and frustration,
Will it drive me round the bend.
~
I cannot even think,
I’m so sick and sore,
And like a drowning man,
I clutch at ev’ry straw.
~
You hunger for my comfort,
Then jump and run in fear,
Of what they all would think,
To know you held me near.
~
Life for you my love,
Seems no better than before,
You’re still so sad and lonely,
And aching to the core.
~
I know not what to say,
Nor know what to do,
So I’ll hold my words for now,
And leave it up to you.



 Slow Down, stop to smell the roses and stroll through the garden of life, it will be a more pleasurable experience.

I think of you always Honey XXXOOO.

all you can do is leave it up to her. and be there when she comes around. i can so relate to her position in this. i have a hard time opening up to people, even those i've known and loved forever. it seems i've built the walls to sturdy. i even struggle to bring them down. but, i have put some cracks in that wall. so, if it is love, be patient. it will be that much stronger when she realizes that you have been there all along, and she can finally trust you. o.k.-enough babbling. as you can see, i enjoyed the piece. nice work.

 i love too much, and not enough.

Danni,

Yes you are exactly right, but the waiting and helplessness is the hard part.

Thankyou for your kind words.

Oh can I relate to this.  Sometimes it seems like no matter what you say - it's taken wrong.  No matter what you do - it makes things worse.  It's quite a helpless and "confusing" feeling.  Waiting sucks....
I wish I had a better solution to offer but I don't.  I can only offer you empathy.
Great poem, paulsm.

i think feeling helpless is one of the hardest things in the world.  especially when you love the person you wish to help.  and lovoing them makes you hurt so much more when you cant help.  know the feeling all too well.  great piece.

aimee
