How do I give to you my heart? Knowing that with just one lie it will shatter like cheap crystal. The damage you've done was unnecessary. The pain you inflicted was cruel. You knew you owned me. The power you had over me was unbelievable. I loved with the innocense of a child. I've only loved this way once before, and she died... taking a piece of me with her. I swore I would never love again.. until you. It was a bitter cruel fate that brought us together. I can't help but wonder what I did. How I could deserve this kind of pain and anguish twice in my life. Because now you tell me you too are dying. I will have to watch the life drain from you. I will have to watch each breath become more difficult then the last. Until you fade away like the late summer sun. And I ask once more..... How will I ever give my love again? With perseverance even the snail reached the Ark. |

![]() What's that old saying? "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all." Maybe that is the answer to your question. Hugs, ~Krista Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |
