Today was a good day Wish they could all be that way Going out and having fun With you in the warmth of the sun Setting our cares aside No rules in which to abide Just the two of us here Has been for many a year Too late to ever go back Can't seem to find the right track We passed the point to return That was the hardest to learn Days like today I feel Something inside that seems real Spending time with you Like no one exists except two There is not a crowd Things will be quiet not loud I know you can be soft and sweet In your arms I've felt the heat A love like ours could create Maybe it's not too late To give this an honest try Before that last shred of love dies Alas that time has come and gone Now we must both move on Release that which can never be Don't look back or you will see The scattered pieces of my broken heart Would need a map to find each part They have all been tossed about I tried to scream and then shout To put an end to my agony Stop the world from turning ebony But it was all to no avail My heart has left a bloody trail 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 |

LoneWolf~ Sadly I hear your heart sighs ... From your own depth of feeling - 'Maybe it's not too late To give this an honest try' *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

This was a beautiful read with a "twist". As I read, I thought I was going to discover a "happy ending" to follow such positive realizations. Alas ... your closing seemed final and heartwrenching. Are you sure it's truly too late? /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 05-07-2000).] |

That was a beautiful insight into a broken heart. Beautiful piece. "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

WOLFE, so exquisite this one. I must say that letting go as stated above is a difficult journey of the heart yet one was blessed with yesterdays and now will have new tomorrows. CocoBaci |

Just the two of us here Has been for many a year Too late to ever go back Can't seem to find the right track We passed the point to return That was the hardest to learn ------------ Alas that time has come and gone Now we must both move on Release that which can never be Don't look back or you will see The scattered pieces of my broken heart Would need a map to find each part ------------- LW...this is so honest and real and perfect...seems we are traveling the same roads these days... I know...you know....wish we didnt know. the poetry keeps us sane. take care, stay strong jm 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 you lose it all ... And it's unnerving How one move just puts me by myself There you go just trusting someone else Now I know I put us both through hell ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me And I'm not sayin We ever had the right to hold on I just didn't wanna let you get away from me. ~MB20~Leave |

JM....so sorry to hear we are traveling the same roads. Would not wish it upon anyone. Yes, we know and I really wish I didn't, but nothing I can do to change it....have tried everything I know. Yes, the poetry keeps us sane...thank God. Thank you for the wonderful reply. I just wrote what was in my battered heart. You take care and stay strong, too.
