Between the Lines

MyStory

I practice this release of pain
that winds its way throughout
pretending reasons other than
including those of doubt

But it is the pain that favors me
and keeps me wrapped in heat
so silently I press my thoughts
the choice of not to meet

A treasure chest once full of hope
and dreams that floated words
those three of past, the "I love you's"
are captured but not heard

They lie in rest, page after page
in journaled graphic lines
for only I can see their feel
and feel their means' designs

Letting go because of need
and needing letting go
is offered as a gift to one
because of need to know

There's more to me than what one sees
and more than what is told
though silently the eyes in plea
will never let go hold

Of those three words, those felt for him
the one who lives in gray
for reasons kept unselfishly
this love is tucked away

The pain that rises, spreads its ache
in heart, and reaches in
pulls apart the best of me
and paths me way too thin

Inside there is a soreness that
prevents tomorrow's cure
the pride of which belies the truth
(of loving evermore)

So once again, with pain in tow
alone, immune's retreat
pondering what can't be shared
when loving's incomplete.

'There's more to me than what one sees
and more than what is told'


A sad poignancy pervades this piece ...
but I know that underneath
is happy,
waiting for a time to be unearthed ...
and I pray it comes for you ... sooner than soon~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

Question

Know the various abuses of the locution,
know all the ****  one may have to eat in the afterhaze;
yet if you cannot say to another you, “I love you,”
how can you ever say anything anymore anywhere
in this world?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

So beautiful.....and so sad.

How could any man walk away from such depth of feeling?

You deserve much happiness, and I pray that one day it will be yours.

Mary
