Standing in this room with the people that I loved the most < !signature-->People that have been there my whole life, but not Standing in this place with people that loved people People that cared about people, but don't now I was alone Not lonely Just alone I don't know you I don't like you Where have you been through all this fustration that I have been through Why didn't you help me the way that I helped you Why didn't you love me through it all There are days that I can think back to time when you cryed on my shoulder Now I have no shoulder to cry on I felt my feet sink into the floor as the world was spinning around me I was not here I was not there I was spending time in my head with the voices that kept me sane this whole time I can hear the clanking of glass as midnight hits Kisses are passed around, but not from the ones that I love Not from the ones that I want Just people Everywhere Those times that we had were good Those times that we shared were special, but I'm sorry to say that I never want to see you all again I never want to talk to you again I just want to move on Without you Don't hate me during this time of not caring Don't hate me because I feel left out Love me more for doing my own thing Without you Without the need Without the want I wished I tryed I needed I wanted To be one of you But I'm not I never will be So here is my glass raised high to you To you for being you and doing your own thing Here is my glass Raised high to the fools, lovers, wishers, dreamers, hopers, and family The family that never was One last night to say goodbye before I go I last night to see you all in your true light Alone.... Not lonely Just alone.... "If I was not so weak If I was not so cold If I was not so scared of being broken Growing old I would be I would be... FRAIL" Frail- Jars of Clay To all the "family" that I have known for the longest that spent this wonderful and now unforgettable New Years with me. Goodbye all. I hope to see you down the road sometime. Love, Ladycat Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. [This message has been edited by Ladycat (edited 01-01-2001).] |

Sorry to see you go ...come back sometime and bathe in the warm breeze of poetic words that will loosen the ropes of stress that plague the everyday mind. The reward will allow you to write freedom on the page....ethome |

Ethome.. This was not written for my Passions family.. This was written for the people in my life that have been friends of mine so long that I have called them family and now-- They are no longer here for me... Thank you for the response though. I will always be here at Passions.. You can't get rid of me that soon.. Love, Lady |

Well I took the first part of it to mean just that for sure but those lines at the end made me think that even though the poem was about others that you were retiring from passions for awhile....don't where I came up with that idea sorry!....always glad to have you around...ethome |

sometimes Ladycat, we have to walk that road alone. . .in every family, there's always that one that seeks their own way, that's different than the rest of them. . . that's you. . . but it's what's at the end that makes the difference. . . wonderful poem. . . adding to my library. . . ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Kitty, though I'm not 'there' nor really even 'here', I was in many ways. And I, above all others in that 'family', know what you mean. Always around, but never inside. You have penned and captured the soul of Unca Ali through your self description. Not Brother Ali, but Unca Ali...the uncle that is around, but not inside the loop, talking to 'family' that hear, but don't listen; who age but never mature. *shrug* Who knows....in the fullness of time it may well be that they were right all along, and we were mistaken...or p'raps it'll be the other way 'round. I still love ya, and still remember. And remember this: If'n I don't see you again in this life, we'll meet in the Pink. Unca Ali, the errant Persnikitty “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin |

Thank you all for understanding. Ali... I'm sorry that you have felt this way all along, but know this. I have always loved you and have listened to what you were saying. In time you too might see that I saw you from the start. It just took till know to hear you. Not lonely just alone. I better see you again though. You know better than to leave me hanging cause I will come and find you. I love you all!!! God Bless.. Love, Lady Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. |
