.gif) I always try to give you my all and do my best But everyday you send but another proving test Show you I love you with what I do and say But your ever doubting words are thrown my way All the teasting hoops I’ve jumped with care What if I stopped giving for you, Would I dare? Is the love for who I am or for what I do For you never offer so much as a “thank you” I’ve made up my mind, I’m done giving for good It’s time for ME to start living just like I should My chance will come the next time you call I’ll tell you to find someone else to pad your fall You call as if on cue, but I don’t Care! With my voice so strong, I hear myself say...... "ok, I’ll be right there"” |

butterflies dc~ i have been here my friend. know this feeling all too well. great poem as always! we often times say we are done with something, and all the while we know we aren't. i hope you find the strength to overcome all this pain and hurt.  take care. amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Ooh, butterfly...I've gone through this myself...I am finally through with it for good though and happier than all can be with the new person in my life...you'll find the strength, I know it. Beautiful and heartwrenching...a masterpiece indeed. *Krista Knutson* First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. ~Epictetus~ |

BDC... a wonderful piece, well written. I hope things work out. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one". Edward Keating ----- |

BDC, ...may spirits cause your soul to sing, may a slight breeze lift up your wing, may you learn to ever soar may your heart hear laughter more... do not be an enabler my dear...for you have so much more to live for than living for others... good luck...

It's a tortuous kind of love, yes, the hardest of all to end. Captured perfectly in your poem. Peace, butterfly, fly. Corinne |

B.D.C., Oh my dear friend, this one tugs at my heart. I know how you feel. Wish I knew how to make it all better. All you can do is live for yourself. That is what is important. This was a great one. So strong and proud. I love it. LW Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

You are all so kind not only do you post kind remarks but then you go and care....I appreciate you all so much! I'm not sure how to STOP being there though, I wish it were as easy as saying it and making it so...but it's never that easy is it. Thanks for caring and for the advice |

~*Irie poking him in the eye*~ and asking him: "What's tha matter with you? You blind or something" OH, Oops, Hi. Sorry couldn't help my self. I get a little carried away with men and their issues! I hope you have strength to kick him in the butt when it's needed. And PRAY that he GETS it! Well expressed BDC! Hang in there~Sheri |

Beautiful heartwrenching poem Butterflies ... the strength is truly there within you. Sometimes we just have to ask ourselves "If nothing changes, where do I see myself 6 months from now? 1 year from now? 5 years from now? 10 years from now?". Answer each one honestly from within, and see where your heart leads you. Take care Butterflies, Best wishes, /Kit |

That strength will come and you will feel the better for it. A lot of good points made in this poem. No one likes to be used. Very well done poem, very pointed. |

Hypocrisy... such a sadness But even sadness can bring happiness through friendship, no? Just look at the beauty of a poem that shows life's intimate secrets, and so many hearts should be touched... allowing each other to comfort each other. |

I know how hard it can be myself. I'm trying so hard to let completely go and can't seem too. Just when we think we are there, weakness of the heart sets in again. I just now found this beautiful poem; sorry so late. Great as always. |
