if i don’t crawl softly into your thoughts into your missing and wanting then i just don’t if you don’t think at least now and then that it would be nice to hear my voice then you just don’t if the heat we created no longer warms your coldness if your heart doesn’t ache at night for mine to be near then it just doesn’t grabbing the last kleenex and rolling my eyes as i toss the empty box i swipe away the tear that threatens to take a dive and softly curse my lack of control… i look at the time and shrug i guess its time to go home and reluctantly i lock my door |

what it is, it is... what it isn't, it isn't... what it was, well, that's just what it was... today is today, yesterday is yesterday and everything is everything..usually, except when it's not anything....sucks sometimes, huh? (LOL... don't know if any of that makes sense, but your poem sure did!!) you've said a lot here... yep... but hey, before you toss the box, could you email me a kleenex? *wink* nice work, corozan |

Corazon~ My friend, you got more than one tear out of me, dear. I know the heartache, and it tears you up inside, but I learned to take a deep breath, close my eyes, and take a step forward. Every step after that one gets a little easier. Love Ya~ ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

If I don't crawl softly into your thoughts when we're apart then I wonder if my presence was ever counted by the keeper of your heart. Enjoyed reading your poem. Nice writing! dh A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

I too share your pain and I have some tears for you. It does hurt I know, but it will turn someday into just a lost memory. Hope the pain leaves you soon. Wonderful, heartfelt words. |

I guess some words never really came from the heart.. I guess some feelings never really touched the owner's heart.. I guess the aches, the losses and the tears just never touch the memory of another.. I guess words spoken once with such love and care are now forgotten .. I guess it's easiest that way, for some.. As I shake my head...another one bites the dust.. Kleenex shares have gone up by 0.2 (sharing a tear with you and a smile.. HUSG [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 07-05-2000).] |

I don't know anyone who can say things the way you do, Corazon, and with such clarity..... |
