Your Mark You left a mark on me etched into my soul Your mark stamped inside piercing a hole The lessons you taught me I needed to know Now having learnt them, your mark I show It’s there in my eyes when I think I'm alone Glowing when I'm there in fears lonely zone The mark that I try to conceal even from me A mark of pain not of love or of pure beauty You left your mark on me engraved inside me Your mark is too clear for others not too see The things you showed me explained it all How too easily into trickery and belief I fall I see that my heart misunderstood your game Not understanding it wasn’t playing the same Your mark has changed me in a definite way It’s your mark that made me to caution sway You left your mark on me and I offer thanks That I won’t anymore join the foolish ranks I can see clearly how your mark changed me That I’ve lost all my innocence and naivete I'm more cautious than I was before all this I don’t believe in magic or in a Prince’s kiss Your mark has made my smile falter and fail But I’ll rise again soon then hope will prevail Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |

You know I know...its not a mark to be worn with shame...but with pride... that you were able to love and give...even if he was too much a coward and a jerk to to deserve what you gave to him...you wear it well sis of my heart |

Going on, with head held high No more to mourn and moan and sigh Or to keep silent a heartfelt cry: "It was your loss." Great poem, Marsha... very well written! (And if you have any left over strength, send it my way??? *G*) |
