you've placated me with wise words of love, but not in-love of forever, but just friends you've held my hand thorough eons of time and thirteen was the lucky number 13 ten plus three oh you know the special key... you gave me babies, and heart scars you gave me tears and smiles camoflauge and muddy feet and on this eve of our demise all I can remember is the happy times and question this fairy tale gone wrong I question my choices in life in love and I fear the future alone with you but not with you and then knowing all the good waiting there around the corner I still hesitate and drag my feet unwilling for the piece of my heart that holds you dear to be ripped from me unwilling to feel the ache from an empty bed so afraid to sleep alone tonight as my salt worn eyes barely focus on blazing screen I pen this eulogy to our marriage this goodbye marking the end to what was us, and what we became over time with life's interruptions thrown into the deal and as I exit this program to send these words hurtling through space in a blink of light I wonder at God and hope He'll be there to watch me as I sleep tonight in a bed with 100% cotton very very cold Ralph Lauren sheets ~@~@~@~@~@~@~ "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |

What a STUNNING piece of writing... A poetic marvel, a gem... I can feel the sorrow in the poem as clearly as I can see the words I type, but thats just not it.. there's much more that I can't express... very clearly in words... regards, sudhir |

Heather - You've penned this very well - the flow and thoughts merging so very well. I can't say I like the subject or it's possible applicability, but I do like the poem. Hugs. |

Ah, girlie...sigh. Aches, this aches. Big hugs to you. This here struck me full force: and I fear the future alone with you but not with you Of being with someone, but not with them, and the solitude of that...is just gripping. More hugs Nicole |
