You made promises of Gold To ease pain I held inside Promised a captured rainbow Dreams we traveled side by side Loving me with your kind words "Forever"and "Always" used I was often reassured I would not be left abused Your kindness was abounding With hopes of a found soul mate Your promise was astounding A gift presented from fate Your kind words began to fade As I struggled to hold on I felt so hurt and betrayed And wondered where you had gone It matters not in the end The final page is the same The broken vow of a "friend" You left same way you came Quietly without warning Slipping through the opened crack Now leaving me in mourning Screaming for you to come back You did ease my inner pain For a brief moment or two But now as I cry in vain I wish I'd never met you Better to have loved and lost Than not to have loved at all To trust no matter the cost The price is so very small You wrote those lines very well And now I'm left here alone Standing at the gates of Hell Once again I will be thrown But I'll find comfort in thought That you taught me this one thing That my soul cannot be bought And no one can make me sing So I will rebuild the wall This time with strong stone and steel Never again to allow To think my dream will be real Nameless and Faceless we met Ungaurded never again The lessons I'll not forget Don't knock......I'll not let you in |

Butterflies...my heart goes out to you...however, in passion, there is still so much pain....My LJA was a nameless, faceless person online and we too took it into real. Yes, it turned out that we were/are soul mates, but not without heartache, pain and grief...I don't have any answers for you, but I agree with becoming strong...strong for who you are and what you stand for...and never let anyone take that away from you again...Try to fill your life with happiness to fill the shadows...and I'm here if you wish to chat...

This abounds with hurt feelings and betrayed emotions. Sad that relationships end that way. Well written I feel. |

Susan~ Thank you for reading and for your concern, it's appreciated. Your offer is amazing....Thank you  Danny~ Yes it is sad, especially when here you can only rely on what someone says.....But I must also say that I have met some of my very best friends on the net...I'm just much more careful now ...And Danny thank you for reading...What you feel means more than what others say....words are only worth the heart that you say them with |

Excellent, Butterflies! I am also in the "been-burned-online" category, and you have expressed the emotions involved very eloquently. Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

But I'll find comfort in thought That you taught me this one thing That my soul cannot be bought And no one can make me sing So I will rebuild the wall This time with strong stone and steel Never again to allow To think my dream will be real Nameless and Faceless we met Ungaurded never again The lessons I'll not forget Don't knock......I'll not let you in ------------------- you know this one got me...very emotional piece butterlfy..very well written and expressed...I relate to this so well it hurts yes...LIFES LESSONS LEARNED... but ya know what I have found along the way... WE only truly learn from the ones we learned the HARD WAY...as they are the ones that cost us and the ones we remember... sad but true...human nature I guess... most of all im sorry your trust was taken... we work so hard to give it back the next time...love and hugs to you sweets... glad to see you writing again...and with so much emotion... love ya,jm Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |

hsystems~ I'm sorry you could relate but am thankful that you read and very touched by your kind words.J.M.~ my sweet soul sister, I thought you might relate. We who gaurd so well that when we find someone that can "relate" and touch all the untouchable spots in us we are transformed into the butterfly we use as our icon Thank you for reading and thank you for the "welcome home" it feels good to flow again...though not as gracefully as you but I am learning. **Angel Wing Hugs** |

You have really touched me with this piece, the word that imediately springs to mind is devastating, a release of much emotion and energy. Very sad that you had to experience those emotions but good to know that you draw strength from the experience and have grown into the butterfly that you are today.... Don't give up your dreamsP.S. It's a hit with me, and thankyou.... [This message has been edited by EagleOne (edited 03-30-2000).] |

Butterflies d.c. This is very emotional and painful and haunting. It flows so well and I am hard pressed to even find a favorite line because all of them are precious with feeling. Please don't let this one make you build the wall so high and thick that another can't come in. They are not all like this. Poetry~ Words falling on paper, painting a dream. Shawna R.

Oh boy do I feel your pain, for I too have met mine....but alas we are on a differant path, even though I was ready to do anything for Love....for her. It hurts so much sometimes I dont know if I can make it....but I would do it all again to be able to grasp the magic even for a moment. |

.gif) Eagle One** Your comments touch my heart, you inspired the release...not the words . And I won't give it up.Wild Child** Thank you so much, I've learned how to build up the walls pretty good by now I try to remind myself that the walls can sometimes keep out the pain but it also keeps everything else out too. Tracie**Thank you for your heartfelt comments. It means alot. Eyepulse**I know, some say "I will do anything.." but they have no clue..just words I guess. I guess I could have handled it all alot better if it was "good bye"...but "nothing" hurts like hell! Serenity** .gif) Butterfly dries. |
