Just Past 8:33 AM By Richard Maxfield Pacing the floor Telephone in hand No sleep, no rest at all. I’ve looked everywhere I have left no stone unturned. There is no one I have not called I do not understand what is wrong. I am going crazy clean out of my mind. My head is spinning my stomach is in knots. It is just past 8:33 AM and she is still not at home Quiet House by Richard Maxfield The house is quiet Not a sound Memories haunt Thought abound No sound of Children at play Darkness of night Broken by day Lonely shadows Dance on the walls Inside each room Down the halls Wafting scents Float through the air Hopeless feelings Of despair Ghost of yesterday Freely roam Inside this once So happy home Haunting echoes Of nothing said Thoughtless selfishness Of love now dead Screaming pain Of words that kill Depressing emotions Are all I feel Aching loneliness Invades this place Love and happiness Not a trace No more laughter No love to share Truths of love Are not fair Sun rises and falls With curtains drawn Victim of love Another life’s pawn Copyright # RM99R4 I Still Cry By Richard Maxfield In screaming pain For no gain My heart sinks abyss For the one My love has done You’re the love I miss Lonely days Silence plays Forever in my mind Dreams of when You were my friend What a lovely find Love has gone I am alone In dark deep despair No one sees What’s inside of me When no one really cares Our family broke Words you spoke Lies or so it seams Our future plans No longer stand Like a fleeting dream Time pass by I still cry My love is for you I want to give A need to live Love was not through WHAT WENT WRONG SHE DID NOT SAY by Richard Maxfield 3-10-98 What went wrong she did not say she took my love and went away she said when I look in your eyes I still see the same wonderful man that was for me I took her for my wife I gave her all I gave my life she said don’t beet your self up its not you fault my love for you came to a halt nothing I did she said was wrong to kill the love, we shared for so long for twenty two years we loved and lived for only each other our self we did give I thought forever it would last a love like this could never have passed to two children we gave life me and my lover, me and my wife what went wrong, she did not say she took my love and went away she told me I do not love him, he don’t love me I just like his company, can’t you see my heart cries out and is broken by the cheats and the unspoken dreams of tomorrow can never be because of the day she stopped loving me every thing I have I would give the dreams of tomorrow, if I could live what went wrong she did not say she took my love and went away copyright # RM99R4 |

Richard~ Maybe, just maybe someday you will be able to be grateful that she left.......because she clearly wasn't the right one.....and the right one is still out there waiting for you to find her..........I know, sounds like a load of crap when your heart is broken......but it's true......have faith..... -SEA |
