Leaving you Was the right Thing to do, I feel it all The way through To my bones. There's a fortress Around All the treasures I've found On the mossy Side of the stones. Too priceless to Just give away, Plucked from dirt Where they lay, Protecting them is How I atone. My life simple Since I left, A peaceful death, No regrets, For even with you I was alone. They say I Am stronger now, Without you To tear me down. So out of the moss I have grown. ~I am the keeper of what he cast off~ |

The cycle of life is captivating in it's emotions and the cause and effect in their aftermath. Nice work, and welcome to passions! |

"For even with you, I was alone" lovely line, great observation, the other side to that is if in love and parted, then in a crowd your longing gives you a sense of isolation even in familiar surroundings, as expressed by a friend of mine once when every one was patying around him, he was in love and parted by distance. I did not understand him, I was not in love. |

First Brneyedgrly, Welcome to Pip! This is a beautiful poem. I know just how you feel. I have always found it strange that they would think we can't make it without them. If they could only see us now, huh? |

beautiful poem, the emotion seemed so effortlessly conveyed. You penned it incredibly well. I love the fact that you know what treasures lie within you and the fact that you have grown. A priceless lesson... you must be a special girl! |
