I hang on your words
as i always have
i am merely another faded picture
on an ever expanding wall
My hope is drained
Under your steel gaze
yet my heart cries out 'More'
Your love meant so much
like a pillow behind my head
or a arrow from cupid in my heart
yet still you tease me
you sing the songs of love
and leave me standing apart
before moving on to another love
destroyed before we will start.

I have left you now
as i was the picture
alone in the company of others
no one but dead eyes
to look upon you
for the love in mine has died
and with my love so goes hope
and with my love so goes soul
Now i am truely alone
Perhaps once your touch reached me
Perhaps it soothed my aching brow
but in the dawn it is lost forever
and with it the last of what id been
For the record i will say
i do and will always miss you till my dieing day




Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis

This is so well written.....the love that can
never be is sometime the most painful of
all, your heartache and sadness were felt in
every line~

Very sad poem... In hopes you find another one that will share feelings back, "bottoms up" to you )

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

Great work here Walter, well done!

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
