Through all the years < !signature-->Of having no life I am what they consider A battered house wife I walk with my head Facing the ground Never looking up To see who's around My heart beats slowly For it has been broke Torn and tattered With no sign of hope My eyes no longer shine As they once did before They show my weary past Saddness to the core My thoughts aim To the darkened days It seems to protect me From other's evil ways I do not mean To whine and cry Just give me some time To understand why Why I survived The long dark years Once loving a man That lived off my fears My heart has scars That go so very deep It bleeds each night As I drift off to sleep You see ....... Feeling the love That I have for you Sends me to shivers For I know its true I have never felt What you give to me It scares me to pieces I have never been free So ......... Take a few steps back Look at who I am I cant change over night No matter how hard I cram I told you from the start That I have alot to learn No one ever cared enough I was never their concern No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry [This message has been edited by Dark_kisses_Within (edited 12-18-2000).] |

Great work. I loved every line. I have lost my poetic touch, but it seems that you have yours. Great work. Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |

Wow girl how much I identify! Same song....same dance that I have lived by. I am so sorry that you have to "FIGHT" to love again! I know that feeling all too well. When you have this incredible desire inside that is so much a part of you that you breathe it, and yet are so afraid seemingly (not even of your own accord) to freely let it out because of "FEAR"! So if I may, I am putting the lines of a fav song I have by Celine Dion. Although, I know they sound good and they are true, I also know they are difficult to live by. But we can get through it, if we take one day at a time and with the help of others. Hang in there!!! Your FULL capacity to love and be loved will bloom again if you don't allow fear to kill it. Be sure to read the stanza about fear. It is so us....so true! Take care girl. Beautiful expression here by the way, helped me alot! Falling into you (Billy Steinberg / Rick Nowels / Marie Clire D'Ubaldo) And in your eyes I see ribbons of color I see us inside of each other I feel my unconscious merge with yours And I hear a voice say, "What's his is hers" I'm falling into you This dream could come true And it feels so good falling into you I was afraid to let you in here Now I have learned love can't be made in fear The walls begin to tumble down And I can't even see the ground I'm falling into you This dream could come true And it feels so good falling into you Falling like a leaf, falling like a star Finding a belief, falling where you are Catch me, don't let me drop! Love me, don't ever stop! So close your eyes and let me kiss you And while you sleep I will miss you |

I too danced the danced - emotional abuse at least. He nearly killed my spirit, I had no self confidence etc just as you describe. It was a battle of a couple of years but I fought back. I love who and what I am and I will never lose that again for any man. Also I know those feelings of fear when you are starting to love another... *hugs of understanding* Great stuff Isis *I believe every time you put your words to paper, you change. Each feeling is set free, and you may follow.....* ~Isis~~Sovereign of the Spirit. |
