--- I'm So Sorry --- You will never know me Until it’s far too late. Women you have never met, Have sealed your grisly fate. ~ I fought the inner voices. I’ve prayed they leave me be. But everywhere I look are lovers, Leaving only me. ~ When you held her hand, Then gave a warm embrace. My blood began to boil, My pulse began to race. ~ My eyes must be so vacant, Devoid of love or care. You know you are about to die. I see it in your stare. ~ I do not even know you, You’ve never done me wrong. But hurts of old have drained my heart. In a muzzle flash, you’re gone! ~ Thank you God, ‘twas but a dream, That same old awful one. I tell myself it’s over now, As I gaze down at the gun. ~ I wait I pray to God above That fate soon makes things right. I pray you never meet me On that awful summer night. No one ever listened themselves into trouble. |

well I pray I don't meet you either then..but I do like the way you write..not sure I am up to the challenge though. I may live on the dark side but I can only write my feelings of the moment and at the moment...there are none. ~Wynter "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |

Definitely dark. But maybe we shall meet some summer afternoon, and walk in the sunlight, sit and stare at the moonlight, and by then there will be no gun in sight, and no more loneliness to fight.  |
