Soft and warm as times pressed on,
Gently caressing the memories now gone.

Hard and eager to mend a soul,
Slipping slighty as if not to know.

Tradgedies healed long ago,
Wake them agian with thoughts unknown.

Todays bitterness whispering softly,
With such purity, as if to taunt me.

Yesterdays secrets kept no more,
Washed upon a regretful shore.

Childhood memories pushed away,
Like a shameful little girl with nothng to say.

Sleeping beside me on my pillow at night,
Just as security slips from my sight.

Every goodbye thats every been said,
Falling so heavily, hopes running dead.

My tears you see,
Stood by me through it all,
And will comfort me tommorow,
If  -forever- shall fall.

Lovely poem.  Very nice.

~Astraea

 "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness."

"Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things."

I know I should not say this
Your feelings expressed here are real
But you're to young to cry
Your days should be full of laughter and sunshine.
Full of love and happiness
Well written there Amber

 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
