Responsible Responsible I’m not responsible Sensible if only I was sensible For what you’ve put me through I shouldn’t even glance at you And yet my memories still stay They won’t leave me or go away I know you’d never cherish me And that means pain certainly Crazy I’m more than a little crazy And I’m going mad almost certainly To consider dancing in your door For me to suffer this pain once more What can my heart be trying to do? I know that you simply can’t be true Like a moth I’m drawn to your flame But I’ll not live in memory ever again Insane I’m quite clearly going insane Vain you can’t possibly be that vain To think that I will dance with you After all the pain I’ve been through All those nights I’ve cried my tears And I’ll not listen to my hearts fears I’ll love again and it will be so true Because I’m safer far away from you Trusting I was far too trusting of you Honest you weren’t even that it’s true To contemplate waltzing into my heart When it was you who blew it all apart I’ve picked myself up and I’m going on And I’m never going to fly into your sun I’ll be true to myself and find my destiny I’ll find myself trusting in hopes beauty Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

This can be a very hard thing to accept that we may not be compatable in certain important areas and perhaps we went beyond the point where we feel comfortable...it is hard to let go and go back to the beginning and accept a friendship or learn to share in areas of common interest without expecting a romance or we can decide to let go and move on...just my thoughts...James |

seems to me the Phoenix answered the moths questions ... when we fly around the flame ...we do indeed get burned... well done poem of comparisons and anologies take care jm Heaven bound on wings of love, there's so much that you can rise above. I surrender heart and soul, sacrificed to a higher goal. ~DepechMode~ |

AT thank you kindly, this is some old stuff working through my system, and I'd say this was probably the least pleasant element of them. But to write is to clear away the debris, so I'm clearing it out of the way. Thank you truly Take care Mushy  James thank you any input is welcome, in this case it's more to do with the fact I'm doing some emotional house clearence. Take care Mushy Janet Marie, the phoenix does answer all my questions, I've had one of those weeks you know, so this is clearing the decks for the future. Thank you always, this moth did get burnt, but some phoenix fire soon rejuvenated me Take care love as always Mushy Vandana thank you as always for your support take care Mushy And while thy willing soul transpires At every pore with instant fire Andrew Marvell 1621-1678 |
