Sometimes I sit and think and dream And only he comes into mind. Even if I cleanse my thoughts Always, he returns, I find. What does that mean? Inside my heart are loving feelings, I wish to share. A place reserved for him within In want I am, to show I care. Why does this heart, of mine ache so? Why must I need, emotions strong? Why can't I be, my own support? Why must I want, to feel, belong? Sometimes I'm hard to understand And try, I do expressing all. It seems that I too often fail And then I start to build doubt's wall. In need of help to break it down to stop the guarding that I do. Because some day my feelings will Be growing strong for someone new. One who knows the source of me Accepts the weak and strengths I hold, Will cherish what I offer then Days and nights of solid gold. Treasures found don't often come. Inside my heart, I hold them dear. I ribbon wrap them, bound to me To feel their presence always near. This is where he's come to rest. I pull from him the strength I need. When times seem rough I reach inside On memories of him, I feed. To some I'm hard, to others, soft I really am the in-between. I have the best inside me yet Someday to share the "real" Maureen.

The real you - that's all I ask of you, Maureen - This poem is terrific - I like the way you developed the theme. It's obvious you put in some time on this poem. I like the texture and the feel of it. |

I agree with Mike Maureen - it is all you need to give, to be -it is all you should. ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Maureen, the real you, yes that's all you really need to show. Someday, you'll find someone worthy of the trust and love you have to give. Until then hold on tight to your real self. |

LngJhnAg thank you for your thoughtful words..I really didn't put but an hour in on this poem the most..the rhythm and rhyme come naturally and my feelings just poured out today trying to resolve some feelings of hurt and to offset my last poem I did this morning of despair..sometimes I have to write to just feel better and to keep me calm as I have many personalities inside of me all playing against one another...but they can keep me company, stave off loneliness in times like this... *wink...no I am not crazy...just simply complex ~~soft thanks and smiles Maureen |

Maureen... You're a very warm and open person, and you write with your heart. I don't see any reason for you to be anyone but the Maureen that we all love........ Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
