Take me by the hand
show me why your still here;
why you left me in the sand.
Take away my fear.

Basking in pale moon light;
clouds cover the night;
I see eyes shining bright
as i fall out of sight.

Show my heart why
you dropped it on the floor.
I thought I would die
as you walked out the door.

I hear what you say
when i'm far away;
But I must tell you this way;
Pour toujours je vous aime

This is an excellent piece of work Hoppy, it has a lot of emotions in it.  However I did get a little confused with the line  "Take me by the hand...show me why you're still here"  then the rest of the poem goes on to say that he/she left you heart broken.  Maybe I didn't understand it correctly.

Love Always,

Very emotional poem, Hoppy. I love the use of French at the end...nice touch!

Love and hugs,

hmmm, I like it very much, but what does that last line mean? I don't speak french.

 "Sa souvraya niende missian ye." \
I am lost in my own mind.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great,
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost
