Realization Meaningless words written in a poem, the out pouring of my heart, feelings I can't seem to get across to you. I try to tell you of my love but it all seems so senseless. I tell you that I love you, but you don't reply. I put all of my love into a kiss, but you don't respond. I reach for your hand, but you pull it away from me. Confused and hurt, I try to hide behind a dream. I picture us together in paradise... always a happy ending. Then I see that look in your eye and all my illusions fall to the ground, shattering into tiny pieces that even the slightest breeze blows away. Again, I am left empty. Suddenly I realize, you can not fill the gap in my life... I had just tried to shove you in for want of something better to fill the empty space; and so I let you go. Maybe someday, I will find the person I need and I too will be needed. Somewhere out there, somebody has a place in his life just big enough for me to fit in. ------------------ "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" ~Albert Camus [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 09-16-99).] |

I know there's someone out there, just yearning for your heart to share, and your mind to care. I hope you find that little place that you will feel snug within. ------------------ Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

Life with out love and passion is liken unto Darkness within the depths of our soul Until love once again shins bright Why can love not see us is he blind? he stands before us Here we are we cry Can he not hear us is he deaf As well???????? Love your work very nicely done |
