"Gathering My Heart" heart of mine please don't leave me i need you to carry on allow me the vision to see i know you are shattered broken completely in two wanting to run and hide how can i blame you Next time I'll be more careful Treat you with better care If only I had listened to my head more You'd still be there Please won't you come back I promise I'll take good care of you Try my best to only make you happy Never again sad and blue There you are heart of mine What's that I see in you? A little ray of hope and light Trying to peek through Hold on to the light For the days ahead may be gray But as long as I'm true to me I'll make it to the next day My Dear Friends: I never thought I'd be saying this...but my time at Passions has come to an end. It's a personal choice and has nothing to do with any of you. My inspiration the reason I write has left me. I am emotionally a mess and need time to sort out things in my life. I have come to care about you all a great deal! You truly are the best family a girl could have. I have met some amazing friends here and developed some awesome relationships. Some of you here mean more to me than others...for different reasons...but you all have found a place deep within my heart. I thank you all for allowing me to lay my heart here for a while and to grow and share with you. I wish you all the best of luck in life and love...Take care...Till we meet again.

Amy, I for one shall be sad to see you go. You, and the courage, openness, honesty, and love you have shown in your words shall be missed greatly. I wish you sunshine and smiles in your journey, take care!

Amy dear heart, I will miss you so very much. I always believed that you would make it through. You will too, your heart will smile again, honestly. This is heartbreakingly beautiful, but then you have always been able to write so amazingly well. Don't lose touch with me dear heart, it was for times like this the Sisterhood was formed. I can't believe that I shall never be enlightened and delighted by your beauty which has graced these pages. Take care always love Mushy  Love you girlie, you are and always will be a star. Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Take care of yourself and stop back anytime to read if the muse is still missing (I know about that!). |

Amy, I know life's cycles can be hard to get through. Each of us must face them as best we can and see the next day begin. Until the day comes when next I read you works, take care and know that your words will be missed. Trev. There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees. ~~Victor Hugo~~ |

 Oh Amy girl, I'll miss you, but, I do understand. Take all the time that you need to sort things out, but do come back to us, even if you just visit every once in a while. You have my email address, email me anytime! This poem was so well penned, so sad, yet hopeful, and I do wish you the best, and hopefully you will find your true love. I want you to be happy, my friend! Take care, Melissa~ |

Aimster, the fastest way I know for that muse to come back [or the reason to write] is to tell oneself "that's all I've got" and square in the middle of dealing with that sentence.... words pour forth.... so I shall not say goodbye.... but I will tell you that we shall leave the light on....  |

There will always be a spot here for you Amy. When you get things worked out come back to us and write us some beautiful words just like these ones you are leaving us with... I will personally miss you as will all of the others.....In spite of the fact that I may sound cliche, remember things are never as bad as they seem. Take care...I'll be looking forward to seeing your work here at the forum in the future...ethome...... please don't ever be too hard on yourself. Reality seldom bears the possibilities of imagination! |

Hold on to the light For the days ahead may be gray But as long as I'm true to me I'll make it to the next day Dear Amy, A heart like yours my dear will make it to each every new day, a heart filled with love, honesty, passion, strength, I could go on and on. You and your poetry will be missed hon, but you need to take care of you and when you decide to return and share your heart with us again, please remember we will be waiting and welcoming you with open arms.HUGS to you my friend Maree |

This beautiful and heart-felt poem proves you are not without inspiration, but go in peace, and perhaps some day you will be ready to come back. This, too, shall pass, in time. Best wishes. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
