You fell for me hard, almost at first sight, my fault to have caught you off-guard, actually I had no right. You didn't want to live without me at your side, funny how you'd always forgive my flirting far and wide. But love can't reside in a place that has died. I let you go, for your own good. And hopefully soon you will see what you can do and what you should, that you'll be just fine without me. |

Hi Dixie, this sounds like a lonely poem with really no one happy, you brought the feeling of heartbreak across, passion and compassion, but also the view that life goes on, enjoyed the read my friend, thank you for sharing. Rick |

hardest thing to do, is to put our own feelings and emotions aside and let those we adore go to grow and be groomed by life...a perception mother's have... hugs to ya |
