Away, Alone I wonder if there was a time When I could really say "I love you." No thoughts about the before, No thoughts about the later, Just thinking about now, The here. What have you done to me? I wonder what kind of life I've had Just wondering what happened then. I've pushed so many people away And now I want them back again. I want someone to tell me, "It's going to be fine." I want someone to hold me Without pushing my heart further. Where are you? Away, you've been there all my life. You've always been Away. Why can't you be the one I love? Instead of just Away. I wish with all my heart you'd return. I wish with all my soul you'd stay. Please, just tell me... Alone is what I am now. Alone is what I ever will be. You've taken Me. Then you became Away. Now I don't know who I am. For Alone is the only one I know. That's all I am now, just Alone... I gave you my heart. I didn't want it back again. Instead you took my life apart ...flew me to heaven... Then I came crashing down, Less than what I was before. For not only had I given you my heart, When you became Away You had taken it, too. Why me? Now I have no feeling. Now I have no life. My world crashed down before my eyes, Destroyed Me, And rebuilt... Alone... Uh, hello? "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

THAT WAS A VERY DEEP POEM. IT REMINDS ME OF MYSELF. I THINK YOU WORDED IT VERY WISELY AND I THINK IT IS A BEUTIFUL POEM. |

Astraea, I too was glad to see your name here today. . . It's always "away" isn't it?? I've always wondered, how come it's never "here"? Wonderful my friend. . . your heart shows. . . as it always does. . . ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

It is soo good to have you back, my friend! This is deeply painful and exceptionally written. You have such talent, but then again, you always have. *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |
