Resigned to this life where I don't belong held within the heart of a man I know is wrong How long can I keep this passion alive in me without a word of love from a man who isn't free If I leave would it be better would my heart begin to heal how long would it take me to find a love that's real This may be the last time I write a poem for you there isn't much left to say and so much less to do |

Oh Sharon ... there is so much written within these lines. You've captured an ache that is so very powerful, excellent and emotive piece.  Best wishes, /Kit |

i wish i could say i didn't understand it...... painful lines...... oh geez and i actually can say "i don't understand it" but that has nothing to do with your poem... nothing left i can say except to say, as always, your writing is full of well written human emotion.... well said |

Oh brother do I feel that pain! The emotions you wrote I am sure many can relate to, and speaking from experience, lots of it, I can tell you being held in bondage of a one-sided love, is worse than no love at all! The bad news is...it hurts to give up what you never had in the first place, but the good news is...it comes soon to people that ARE capable of loving, and they are loved for who and what they are. Happy hunting to anyone who has the courage to seek! Great write PdV If I have made you smile today, then I have done my job! ~* Mysteria *~ |

You know the answer already. It's up to you to open the door and fly free. |

How long can I keep this passion alive in me without a word of love there is not a reason to try, if you can not receive a word of love, time to break the plate and move ahead with healing..not to love is not to live..very heartbreaking read, dear Poet..Walk, and live large...most gentle smile |

PDV- very emotional write. there is a depth to your writing here that has left me actually speechless. i suppose part of that has to do with i could relate to this somewhat, unfortunately. its a hard position you are in, but you are making the right move. being involved w/ someone who isn't free and doesn't show you any kind of love...is no way to live. so as the others have said, move on sweetie...here's to healing and love again. i wish you the best. take care. amy "but i see your true colors, |

Reality sucks! And I can't express how much I relate. |

"If I leave would it be better. How long would it take to find a love that's real." This says a lot for why many of us stay in the wrong relationships...lack of better opportunities, a hope that they will eventually come around, or a fear that we will not find someone new to care for...and the list goes on...James |

Sad, yes... then of course, we usually can't begin a new chapter until we've resigned ourselves to completing the one we're reading... a fact of life... and you've said it well... |

"Resigned to this life", sometimes we don't have a choice. Love is very complicated. Thanks for sharing. |

You'd heal, but I'd take time...lots and lots of time. This one aches, Sharon. All writing comes |

You've titled this one perfectly... it aches with the sad acceptance that what is to be isn't what was wanted. How long can I keep this passion alive in me without a word of love from a man who isn't free And even if he was free and withheld the words/feelings, the ache would exist... along with a whole heap more "why"s! Great work, PDV!!![This message has been edited by suthern (edited 07-03-2001).] |
