What do you do when the only person that can make you stop crying...is the one that made you cry? What do you do when in his arms is the only place that feels right...but he isnt there to hold you? What do you do when in his eyes is the only place you see love...and he doesnt look at you anymore? What do you do when your heart belongs to him and only him...and he gives it back? What do you do? |

I'm afraid I'm not so graceful...but, I do whatever it takes to be happy again, (which sometimes gets me into MORE trouble...sigh) I get trashed. I write bad poetry. And sooner or later? Stupid me falls in love again. Hugs to you, Paula...one from the heart and one I well understood. |

Paula~ 'What do you do when your heart belongs to him and only him...and he gives it back?' This oozes your heart right off the page. *Hugs*, my lady. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Tough questions Paula, I'd say just enjoy the pain while it lasts and then move on. Beautiful poem. |

You cry, you hurt, you think, you scream, you vent, you search, you find, you heal, you keep going. And, apparently, you write beautiful poetry. But you don't forget.

Paula~ this was heartbreaking and very moving. unfortunately, i really don't have an answer to your painful questions. the only thing i can say is you believe in yourself and you turn to those you trust, your friends and family and the Lord. I pray things get better for you and your pain begins to ease. take care my friend. ~amy~ |

You find the love in your own heart that you shine so well with and make your day shine no matter what. There is no easy answer to this question if any answer at all, but time does heal if nothing else. Wonderful write from you. |

the inevitable questions... everyone's answer is different, but if you are ever to move on the key is strength...right? a beautiful work indeed. talk about hitting the nail on the head, huh... Everyone's got their demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

I was told by a sweet wise man that to live life you gotta feel the joys and pains it brings you and I must say it isn't an easy thing to do but somehow I keep that thought in my mind and let time ease the pain to pass.... Hugs2u4x cus you're a sweetie thas why Psssst...you just inspired me to write a rhyme coco [This message has been edited by CocoBaci (edited 12-11-2000).] |

Paula, This is so sad. I guess my best advice is to reach out to a friend, I am here. If he really loves you he will come back. Love does returns. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Paula now you have me thinking about something that happened to me ten years ago...and I need to remember this every now and then...a woman very dear and precious to me left me and more than anything that has ever happened to me in this world I desperately tried to regain our relationship to no avail...and I didn't know what to do except live in my pain and sorrow...and the answer was always...just go on...James |

Oh, I've been there. I've been there. My heart reaches out to you with care. Beautiful poem. So sadly poignant and haunting. I'm so sorry. Are there any answers? Perhaps, but only when one finds them. . The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

>What do you do when the >only person that can make you >stop crying...is the one that >made you cry? What can I do? To make her smile again to give her this thing back that I don't own? My heart says friend but is so damned silent when it should say lover >What do you do when in his >arms is the only place that >feels right...but he isnt >there to hold you? What can I do? When I know that being close just hurts her so why is there a wall now where once was trust why is my heart a traitor? on me, on her? >What do you do when in >his eyes is the only place >you see love...and he doesnt >look at you anymore? What can I do? When in her eyes I see the pain that I inflict right on her soul I look away, cause I feel inside that nothing I can say or do will make her feel whole again can't give back what I've lost What can I do? I've always been the one who was left behind and most times this hurts like hell but the one who is leaving sometimes carries a hurt as well. Very good poem, hope you'll find your own answer to these questions! Take care Björn [This message has been edited by Björn (edited 12-14-2000).] |

I just carry on. Take life a day at a time and hope for a better day tomorrow. But the tears fall untouched for only she can heal me. I know the feeling. |

Paula, with all that good advice, you sure don't need any from me, the one in the same sinking boat. The poem is wonderful, the feelings poignant and so hard to live with. If you really find out what to do, let me know. Sandra Dream as if you'll live forever; Live as if you'll die today. — James Dean |
