I Know


love without reason
winter out of season
a heart broken
words left unspoken
flight on broken wings
promises with strings
upside down inside out
always feeling doubt
keeping a lip stiff
learned to live with if
ridden with the pain
holding tears between the rain
hid fear in throat choke
watched dreams rise in smoke
held words when I should speak
acted strong when I was weak
pretended I did not bleed
all in the name of need

just some words cut from
the diary of my heart

i know love without answers and seasons without sunshine. also life without structures and answers without reason.

this is a good concept that i might use some time. Tf i could hug you.

This is done so very well. The emotion imbedded in the lines could only be real, and for that I offer understanding.
For the words themselves, I offer applause. You did this really well.

A most excellent write Helen...
very much enjoyed.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

These are the things that make us realize how hard it is to hold on to the other side, but also, they are the things that make us realize what the other side has in store... Nice write.
