Listen please listen my love
to the sweet song of the lonesome dove

Can you hear the pain and despair
that lie beneath the surface bare?

You know it wasn't always this way
at one time it could make you stay

But that time was long long ago
it is the truth we both know

You gave me your heart on a platter
and your dreams I did shatter

Your trust I did betray
never to be loved after that day

My heart hears the sound of your sweet song
and for the memories I long

To feel your touch upon my face
all the pain in the world it would erase

To have you gaze at me as once you did
so that my fears would be hid

There would be only us and the night
together we make the spark of the light


 Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end.

well, I oh-so related to this...I am the queen of longing...or was that regret...
this was very well written...
nice work,
take care, jm

 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...

very good piece!
it is so hard to deal with the pain others cause you but its even harder to deal with the pain you cause them.

take care,

So sad this one, pain at times seems a constant companion.  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

JM...sorry you could relate...not fun at all.  Thanks.

BW...Thanks and truer words were never spoken of the pain to others.

Isis...the pain is my friend these days.  Maybe that is why I love the dark.

Sven...not totally or we risk making the same mistakes.  Hopefully we can learn from it.  thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

SG...thank you.
