Every shadow hides behind me Every night I lie awake, Every thought of you torments my soul Just how much more can I take? Alone at night I hear a whisper Every breath I smell your perfume, Closing my eyes I taste your lips Yet I'm on my own in an empty room. Images of you run by my window Your girlish laugh haunts me raw, I wake at night in chilling sweat Somewhere in the distance my name is called. You have found this center in me You chewed it up and spit it out, Reaching for you through the darkness Praying to sanity to shred my doubt. My blood you drank and left me drained You walked away never looked back, Like a cat of prey hunting at night You invisioned me and planned your attack. Over my shoulder I find myself looking Clutching my heart to prevent its loss, Running for my life and love that's gone Protecting integrity at any cost. Leave me alone to rebuild myself Leave me here to perhaps die alone, Prey on another for I have nothing left Perhaps I'm better off on my own. Jeremy T. Sellers 1/14/01 7:42 PM "Those little slices of death, how I loathe them." -Edgar Allen Poe |

So sad Jeremy, but time DOES heal all wounds, each day little by little you will be able to loosen your grip on your heart. You will learn to live, trust and love again. Isis *The heart of education is the education of the heart...* ~Isis~~Sovereign of the Spirit. |

Jeremy....you are one intense poet who is definitely full of passion and incredible talent! "Perhaps I'm better off on my own." Somehow I know that is NOT true! You are just hurting and desperate to not let go of this love you found that filled you so deeply....and that is completely natural. Just my own insight! You do release your feelings very well, and she is a lucky girl.....whoever you write for!  |

"Every night I lie awake, Every thought of you torments my soul Just how much more can I take?" These lines really got to me ... You said it all so well ... Good stuff. |

No particular line touched me... the entire poem tore at my heart. Such pain should not have to be endured by any creature... ~The hardest thing is watching the one you love... love someone else.~ |
