My life a clutter
Reflecting my heart
Where are you amidst all of the pain
Why are you hiding behind the shadows
Please come out
I need you more than anything
I don’t need material things
I don’t need money to make me happy
Your smile
Your love
Your sweet caresses
Your soft lullaby
And soft kisses
My life upside down
Right side up
Reflecting my mentality
I’m taking care of everyone else
But myself
Sometimes
Love seems impossible
I fall victim
To the negativity of the past
Who will see past this
My tears keep me company
My dreams comfort me
Teasing me of what
I do not have
Will I be able to make it through
Another night
Without you
will the heartache end?
Please do not end up a figment of my imagination
Like all the rest
Please prove me wrong tonight…


If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Questions ~

How can you love another if you don't love yourself?

How can you take care of someone else if you can't take care of yourself?

How can you respect another if you don't respect yourself?

Answers ~

You are a victim if you say you are.

Love is impossible if you say it is.

Life and love is what you make of it.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Oh, this is good!  'a figment of my imagination' -- sometimes I wonder what is real and if it ought to be.

Ceinwyn, Your poem reminds me of the first part of my life and Interloper's Questions remind me of this half and the realization of a higher power who has protected me along the way.  Great Poetry

Hugs Kimberly

you must learn to step away
from the shadows that don't fit
