Leaving my side
I have no place to hide
Left naked and alone
Cold to the bone
Hurting so bad
Always feeling sad

This is what you did to me
What do you want?
Me to beg and plea
Sorry but I have my diginity.

It may be the only thing left
Without it I would be sent a drift
So I cling to it with all my might
Holding on ever so tight.

Knowing that someday
Everthing will be alright
Because I held on tight.

LOVELY PIECE....May you alwyas have the strength to hold yourself up as you begin to fall.

------------------
NOT IN VAIN
If I can stop one heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life
from aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Into his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
~Emily Dickinson
