.gif) The ache was beginning to fade, the days becoming easier to face I was left me so many questions when you were gone without a trace ~*~ The nights had been my prison as your memories haunted me I searched for answers and a glimpse of you, but neither did I see ~*~ Your love had taken me to places I’d only seen in dreams I’m was sure I only dreamt your love as I awakened drenched in screams ~*~ You filled my heart with promises of never ending love A soul mate that had been surely sent from angles floating up above ~*~ You had filled my evenings with promises dipped in the finest gold Visions of sharing a lifetime together...holding hands as we grew old ~*~ Finally I could dream without your face smiling at me Though still not one day passed that I didn't hold your memory ~*~ One day at a time the scars began to form on my battered heart A new road to happiness I was ready to impart ~*~ Once again you’ve entered my life and I’m swept away once more My mind says NO as my heart tries to pick the pieces off the floor ~*~ What path do I follow my heart or my head...it’s so unclear Do I let love be my guide or do I protect myself out of fear ~*~ I can’t bear to loose you and have you leave me another time But to follow my broken heart I wonder if it is a crime ~*~ Take it slow, one step at a time, guard your heart.....Yes, I’ve heard it all But once again yours is the only voice I hear call ~*~ I’m yours for as long as you’ll have me, dealing with pain when it’s due For now I can only follow my heart and fall back in love with you ~*~ |

Finally I could dream without your face smiling at me Though still not one day passed that I didn't hold your memory ------------------ Once again you’ve entered my life and I’m swept away once more My mind says NO as my heart tries to pick the pieces off the floor ---------------- I’m yours for as long as you’ll have me, dealing with pain when it’s due For now I can only follow my heart and fall back in love with you ---------------- well, you already know this cuts way deep..

Oh Butterflies! This was lovely and sad all at the same time. Odd though it seems, I actually had to smile because I have been there so many times. Knowing it probably won't work but afraid not to try. I guess it's better to say you tried and failed then to wonder what might have been. Beautiful piece!! |

ButterfliesDC~ Sweetheart, I know exactly what you mean. Believe me, I know the situation. *sigh* But, sometimes all you can do is follow your heart. At least, a broken heart is still alive. Anyway, I'm gonna be like JanetMarie -- I will refrain from giving advice, but I will say this: The best thing I can offer you as a friend is a listening ear. Sometimes having someone to listen is worth more than the advice wrapped in gold. Take Care, my friend! Love Ya~ ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

Butterflies_dont_cry, you call yourself so, Hence if I may say so, Please don't cry.... An emotional poem you have written, a fine work indeed!!! enjoyed these lines most... You had filled my evenings with promises dipped in the finest gold Visions of sharing a lifetime together...holding hands as we grew old Finally I could dream without your face smiling at me Though still not one day passed that I didn't hold your memory .. .. I’m yours for as long as you’ll have me, dealing with pain when it’s due For now I can only follow my heart and fall back in love with you Take Care, Regards, Sudhir |

Beautiful and painful are, I feel, the right words to describe this my friend. You know that I understand, but I will say that some roads are worth travelling. My biased opinion, take care! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

BDC, Oh how I am feeling here for your broken and battered heart. You have spoken to my heart here my friend. Somehow, we'll get through. This was emotionally charged writing. Well done. **AW HUGS** LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Butterflies: So many of us can relate to what you have written here. So painful and so wonderfully expressed. Let your heart lead the way and let your head give your heart an occasional suggestion but follow your heart. Your heart will guide you. Thanks for sharing. kat |
