It's quitting time again tonight Much too tired to put up a fight Give in to temptation's ways Only to have heart broken and frayed Seeking some solice in a bottle again Try to find a happy place Somewhere inside The mind of this man Only to wake up ears ringing loud Try to blend nervously with the crowd Try to survive and make bigger plans Only to be back tonight at this bar again If you should pass me somewhere on the street Or if by chance we should happen to meet Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely Though I'm always alone I always have her memory [This message has been edited by Jeffrey Carter (edited 08-15-2000).] |

Oh Jeffrey, I feel your sadness and broken heart in your beautiful words here. You have a very big heart, one that loves with all it has...a quality well admired. I wish I could paint the air with healing as you sleep tonight so when you wake up in the morning you will be mended and aware of the doors that have opened in your life, instead of the one that has been closed. But I can't so all I will say is my heart will say a prayer for yours tonight and hope that you hear it. Love breaks our heart but it also love that heals it.  Take Care. Jenn E |

Jeffrey~ Well now .... glad to see that it's patched-up. However, it was still an indepth look at the melancholy of heartache. Sometimes it's just necessary ... yanno ? *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Jeffrey - Very beautifully written, my friend...and SOOOO familiar! It took me back to the time when my ex-wife and I first separated, prior to divorcing. I moved back in with my parents for a little while, and Mom took all of the prescription medicines in the house and hid them for fear that I would use them to commit suicide. Fortunately I healed with time, and now have my wonderful Pamela and sweet little Morgana - but I still remember how tough it was, at first. Thanks so much for sharing this excellent piece, my friend - I love you, man!  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

Interesting poem. I feel your pain. It seems to me you will be better off expressing your pain in this way instead of drowning same. Garfield |
