***note to the readers*** im sorry that this one seems sad...this is just my soul and heart trying to find some comfort during a really hard time in my life. i'm okay...just have some VERY difficult decisions to make. love you all. ~amy~ What Am I To Do? Amy M. Kennedy They tell me not to love you And that it is wrong But they can't possibly know how I feel I've loved you for so long I'm supposed to let you go And I don't even know why When I think of us apart All I can do is sit and cry You are my soulmate and friend And my lover to How do I stop loving you? What am I suppose to do? I don't want to give up But a new wall appears everyday How do I give up? I can't just throw this all away I am fighting harder Than I've ever fought before I just couldn't bear it If we had to close this door No one knows the pain That this is having on my heart As I lay here quietly Crying softly in the dark I know how much you love me I feel it in your touch And I swear as God as my witness I've never loved someone so much But the walls get higher What happens when we can no longer climb? Am I suppose to just turn away And pretend you were never mine Life has taught me lessons One's I shall never forget But how do I let go Of my angel that was heaven sent You tell me to say And not to let you go But my heart fills with such sadness As I look around at the chaos, and then I know I know I will never love this way again Fight with me, perhaps we can win I hold onto the beautiful day When our lives can finally begin Your mother hates me I know this to be true But all I know is pure and simple I beyond any shadow of a doubt...love you. "The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences" |

Aimster, I have not read your work before but if this But how do I let go Of my angel that was heaven sent is a sample of what you do, then I know i will be reading your work again. Well done.

Aimster~ What a wonderful poem. If you love something hold on dearly, you never know when it might be gone. If the words you wrote in your poem are the true way you feel there is no way this love wasn't meant to be. Hold on to your angel! Chelsea |

Hi Aimster, They say love conquers all. The obstacles and adversities may seem (or really are) hard to win but hang in there. You don't sound like a quitter  ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -Song of Gesture |

I don't want to give up But a new wall appears everyday How do I give up? I can't just throw this all away I am fighting harder Than I've ever fought before I just couldn't bear it If we had to close this door No one knows the pain That this is having on my heart As I lay here quietly Crying softly in the dark I know how much you love me I feel it in your touch And I swear as God as my witness I've never loved someone so much But the walls get higher What happens when we can no longer climb? Am I suppose to just turn away And pretend you were never mine ======================== welcome back sweetie ... you already know how i feel about this subject... I'm sorry after all this time things havent resolved them selves... TO ME===this poem asks and answers your own question... you two love each other... you two want to be together.. it is outside interference that is puting up the walls... NOT one of you shutting the other one out...RIGHT?!?!!! So my take on it is.... when they put up a wall...cut out a door when they close a door ... open a window ... hell tunnel UNDER the wall ... better yet ...move into your own brick house toghether and LOCK THE DOOR... let them huff and puff ..they'll get tired sooner or later ... IF you two are truly commited and know this is for the rest of your life.. then knock down those walls.. Introduce them to Bulldozer Amy ... the Amy I know finds a way ... theres my 2 cents  take care sweets ... Ill be in touch when i can ... my time is not my own right now.. but know I'm reading and thinking about you even if i dont reply... doing a bit of spring cleaning of my soul these days...seems to be taking awhile jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

A very difficult time indeed, Amy. I know that you will be able to find a way through this. You have every right to make your own decision in this situation and you should follow your heart. Hope that everything works out. Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... [email protected] |

Amy. . . welcome back my friend. . . I'm sorry to see you back under such sad circumstances. . . There's only one thing that I can say. . . sometimes, you have to fight for what you believe in. . . and I know that you believe in this. . . Excellent poem my friend. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
