I gave you my love All I had and much more You just stood there mute And closed every door You said that your love Was carefree and loose But all that you loved Was giving abuse I knew that our love Could keep us afloat But that never stopped Your knife at my throat You pushed me away I left and was free It's now that I'm gone That you really love me Alicat |

"I knew that our love Could keep us afloat But that never stopped Your knife at my throat" Strong writing, Alicat...wish it didn't sound familiar. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Alicat, what's that song? "Don't know what you got till it's gone"? But sometimes, it's for the best. . . Excellent poem. . . --------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Geesh..this one was sad. Good, full of truth, but too sad for me. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |
