Where moonlight shadows grace the white of new-fallen snow you will find me waiting there for you Still clinging to the promise of yesterdays dreams Only to find out that tomorrow has come and gone Leaving me to live life outside the realm of reality Feeling as though my saviour has left me here to die alone Still clinging to the hope that I shall someday be free of your wicked charms Searching everywhere to find an answer to the mysteries of love and hate How can it be that you have only now found the possibilities so overwhelming? As if you had kept your eyes closed for all these years Saying forgive me just doesn't cut it anymore Today life starts on a brand new journey A journey to find inner peace Inner peace and tranquility amongst all the filth and rileness of this world A new beginning to find true love It may be a long walk, alone and often scared, but I will find what I have been looking for so long So give me the oppurtunity that I so desperately need Remove the grip your memory so strongly has over me and let me learn to live and love again |

Jeffery this a powerful expression of deep inward emotions.....a most wonderful poetic work...it shines in the eye of the mind.... excellent writing!! "Remove the grip your memory so strongly has over me and let me learn to live and love again." great words I think they could woven into the content of a song quite easily. |

You've expressed yourself beautifully in this Jeffrey! I sense a positive "wake to a new dawn" feel that I love so much ... it may be a long road, but always the most satisfying, once you know which direction to take. You seem to have found that. Very nicely penned! Best wishes, /Kit |

It is hard to move forward when someone won't let go of our past... "Remove the grip your memory so strongly has over me" I read the other comments and wanted to avoid using the same word as the majority but "strong" truly is the best word to discribe this one!!! -jaimie http://www.ladysixstring.com |

"Saying forgive me just doesn't cut it any more." I have been there and beyond..first I wanted her to say forgive me...then it didn't matter anyway...I just wanted to move on...James |

Jeffrey~ 'Saying forgive me just doesn't cut it anymore' The best gift we can give ourselves ... is forgiveness to another. When we forgive ... we move on with hope. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

"Still clinging to the promise of yesterdays dreams Only to find out that tomorrow has come and gone Leaving me to live life outside the realm of reality" Jeffrey, these lines, in particular, moved me. Making one's way out from under that promise of yesterday's dreams...such a challenge, one that I am still struggling with. Thank you for expressing this so well, my friend. It's a lovely poem. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

A heart like yours will learn to love again Jeffery, I know it will. You have a good heart and there is another that one day will long to make it theirs. Hugs, Marina It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |
