Suffer in Silence |

I don't know how to say it poetically, I'm not gonna dress it up in rhyme. I lack the fancy words to tell you ... God, I just miss you all the time. There's no point in trying to deny it, I doubt I could even define it with my verse. What I lost in you seems to have taken my words, the silence of this ache, now seems to be my curse. I don't think I'm ever gonna learn, I have been falling like this for so long. Still I refuse to say you were a mistake ... It felt too damn right to ever feel wrong. So I guess I choose to suffer in silence, I'll just beg my muse for every single verse and every last line. I'm not gonna think of you with regret ... cause with you ... for a little while ... I had a taste of something fine. Janet Marie ----------------- ~Leave~ MB20 It's amazing how you make your face just like a wall how you take your heart and turn it off how I turn my head and lose it all It's unnerving how just one move puts me by myself there you go just trusting someone else now I know I put us both through hell I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me I'm not saying we ever had the right to hold on I just didn't wanna let it get away from me ...

JM, my heart aches deeply for you my friend. This is raw and vivid emotion. Your words convey such sorrow, but you do it so well. But then, I've learned to expect that from you. Wonderful job. *Krista Knutson* "We are not seperate from spirit, we are in it." ~Plotinus~ |

Janet* Your heart bled in every line sweetie... it tore softly and then it ripped. No we wouldn't regret it because it feels to sweet at the moment...what a pair we make...lol Bring on the pain and watch the show!! I don't think I'm ever gonna learn, I have been falling like this for so long. Still I refuse to say you were a mistake ... It felt too damn right to ever feel wrong. **Angel Wing Hugs** I know you fought for this one....pain inspires but when it runs deep it's lost withing the raging waters of our heart....more will come and when they do.......I'm standing on high ground with my kleenex in hand and a rope to pull you back out when you need it!! Take care...love ya!! |

Oh hon...no one should have to suffer in silence and as always, it seems you have just the right words to express your feelings. So sad, but one we all can relate to. |

Not sure what's worse, the silence when noone is there or the silence when they are. None the less, does anyone ever get used to the echos of rememberance left lingering in the heart when they're gone? JM, your words are so full of emotion, as usually is the case. Here's lookin at you kid! BEH A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

WOOWH Jan, what can I say but I hope everything is ok, thanks for sharing and always you hit my heart with your words. Take care. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Janet- The emotion you put into this is so raw and just amazing work. The only word that keeps coming back to my mind is "WOW". The line that I love is: "I don't think I'm ever gonna learn, I have been falling like this for so long. Still I refuse to say you were a mistake ... It felt too damn right to ever feel wrong." gosh..that says it all. AMAZING WORK dear! love & all, -Holly I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of. Michel de Montaigne |

JM, This was a very vivid look into a heart that has been hurt so deeply. Most of us can relate to your pain very well I think. You wouldn't change the way you feel if you could because you have sweet memories of a love that is no longer. No one can take those away from you my friend. This was so touching. Wonderful expression and look into your heart of gold. Lone Wolf Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

JM, I'd swear my screen took on a sad look while showing your poem. It takes a great deal of talent to be able to accurately depict so much sincerity and emotion in a poem and you obviously have it. |
