found your picture tonight while cleaning out my room took one long last look at it as i put it in the box of your things my heart sighed as i looked out the window as the drops of rain hit against the house the wind outside howling perfect type of weather for how my heart feels why did you do this to us your endless lies and useless games was there a point you were trying to make or did you enjoy the pain you put me through so tired of hearing your excuses and how its you who now hurts we all have our crosses to bear yet we don't treat others--as you treated me you still want to be my friend how is that possible when i no longer trust you you killed our precious love with your hateful lies i gave you my love, everything i had you might as well have laughed in my face ice now consumes my heart-- as jagged pieces of glass still lie embedded in it looking at your picture as the tears now rain down my face i exhale deeply as i put you and your memory aside walking back to the window i watch the rain for a bit as i feel the last bit of love i have for you fade with the passing of the night amy m. kennedy "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart & can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

Oh Amy, such an incredibly moving piece. So descriptive ... the feelings you've penned come through so vividly. You truly have a gift for exceptionally emotive writing. Very nicely written Amy ... Best wishes and many, many hugs coming your way, /Kit |

Powerful, emotional. Sadly I look at this from the other side. Please know that if he does not understand or see what he did he will someday. Mistakes are always paid for. "Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm." ~Winston Churchill~ |

Amy, I understand how this feels...'love' is a fickle thing sometimes. What we think is love turns out to be something quite different yes? Sadly, I don't believe there is a 'perfect' love out there for everybody...I think we have to live our lives and keep hoping for 'true' love. In the meantime we can love ourselves and those closest to us... lovely poem  K...and I have found a lifetime can be lived in one moment... |

'my heart sighed as i looked out the window as the drops of rain hit against the house the wind outside howling perfect type of weather for how my heart feels' 'walking back to the window i watch the rain for a bit as i feel the last bit of love i have for you fade with the passing of the night' Powerful write, Aims...and, I'm with Severn...we should not live our lives endlessly searching for that 'one true love,' but spend our time cherishing those whose love we already have...yes, I must take my own advice...  ...but, anyway, girlie, this was wonderfully written!-e ~~~~~~~  do I believe we'd be better off apart? can I see my world without you in it? baby, not for a single minute... |

Amy: Your wish is my command.LOL! I'm now responding to one of your poems. I do think they all are amazing I just dont say it in here enough. This poem was very heart-felt and I am so sorry you were put through this kind of pain. I know how much you love like me and how much it hurts when its thrown away. Please like the others said don't lose that love...give it someone who will treasure it as the rare gift it is, not someone who will ruin it.  Things will get better in time(I hope)~Lisa~ ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |

You've captured the hurt and anger here Amy.....how long can one misuse another human being, especially in the name of love.....it's nothing other than abuse and it's never been morally right......but it's a long old road that doesn't have a turn in it. Very well expressed Amy I could melt right into your mood....take care ethome...... The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Wow! Thank you for your heart felt words. I love it and I hate how your feeling. Remember that this experience will only make you stronger. That's exactly what it is, it's an experience that you will learn from. If you remember that, you will be ok. What I'm trying to say is that I too have learned from the same type of experiences.. It hurts deeply but we grow. Nice write. Hugs Tammy |

Amy I feel your sadness here m'dear *hugs* and as Lisa said ...".don't lose that love...give it someone who will treasure it as "the rare gift it is, not someone who will ruin it." I totally agree with her hon Many Hugs Hon Maree I may know the word, but not say it I may know the truth, but not face it I may hear a sound, a whisper sacred and profound but turn my head, indifferent.
