"Confusion" My soul is tired, head full of thoughts This confusion swirls around and around Heart feels heavy, mind shouting out Spirit feels broken, lying on ground Pain has taken it's toll And painted my soul blue I am so completely lost Without the presence of you Thought I was stronger Afraid I am not In a web full of lies I have been caught You have to be strong and fight for you I now see this isn't my fight Can't do it for you...it's all up to you If I continue to do so, it wouldn't be right Heart is weary, body feels cold Missing you so much, as the wounds bleed Never knew I could love another so deeply Didn't know the depth of my own need Had no idea I needed someone to need me like this However, you must stand up to her or we will never be free My eyes are finally open As heart and head see *amy's note...i am leaving passions for a while. i will miss you all very much, but i need some time away. my words hurt too much to write as they are a direct reflection of my heart. when i write, i think, and when i think i feel. and it seems i've been doing way too much of that lately. of course i will still be reading all of the beauiful work that is posted here, but as for my writing, this here poet is laying her pen down for a while. love ya all. take care. ~amy~ |

This is such a pain-filled piece. I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time. Writing always helps me feel better, but you should do whatever works for you. I hope that things work out really soon. I'll miss your great poetry. I know that I haven't been replying a lot in here, but I do read, and I know that you have a lot of talent. Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us, and we'll miss you! Best of luck. "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

You have to be strong and fight for you I now see this isn't my fight Can't do it for you...it's all up to you If I continue to do so, it wouldn't be right Heart is weary, body feels cold Missing you so much, as the wounds bleed Never knew I could love another so deeply Didn't know the depth of my own need =============== your right Am, we cant fight their battles for them...we can fight with them, beside them, support them..but we cant help them till they are ready to help themselves... everyone gets stronger in their own time ...try to be patient though I know its very hard.. as for you laying down your pen... do what you need to do for now ... you are a poet...you purge, bleed and then heal thru your words... one of the true gifts of poetry is it is ever faithful...always here ... when your ready, when you need it ... your pen and gift will be waiting... so will we. one day at a time sweetie. love ya sunshine jan |

I shall miss you Amy. You write with your heart and it shows in your words, each one of which I feel. I understand your reasons for taking a break, I wish you well and hope you find the peace you so richly deserve. Take care "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

So, you take care, and we'll miss reading your beautiful work 'round here. We'll be waiting for ya!! ô¿ô -e I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

Amy, through the mist of confusion flies a dove aloft...searching...for what she will find when land comes into view... we'll be here... waiting for you... find peace, little one... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

My heart aches for the pain you are feeling in this poem. It will be sad for you to put the pen down, dear one, as writing can be such a help to get the pain out. Blessings to you and I hope to read more of your work soon. Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.

Oh Amy ... this is so tender and heart-wrenching. Please take care, and know that we will all be here, waiting for the time you wish to share your words again. Writing is such wonderful therapy for me, but I too have times when I place the pen down and take a rest. I'll be thinking about you, and praying all is well. Best wishes, /Kit |

You all are all that a girl could ask for and more. I love you all much, my other family. During the last eight months of writing and reading here, i have met many wonderful people and developed some amazing friendships, you all know who you are. But everyone here at Passions helps to make this not just a poetry forum, but a true home. I thank all of you, and I too pray my words will at some point return. I love writing! take care sweet poets. ~amy~ |

Sweet Amy, I have to agree with JM, you have to let them fight themselves, you can't do it for them. This is so very sad my dear *hugs* and please don't lay down your pen. *greatbighugs* Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this won't be enough" "Maree Russo" |
