Have you ever cried yourself to sleep?
When you've found the wells of Love were too deep?
Have you ever felt the pain encircle your brain?
It swallows the heart, sends it into the drain.
Have you ever felt this kind of pain?
Have you felt as if you've melted in rain?
Have you ever?
Have you ever?
Then you understand.
And you feel.
This pain,
Is very, very real.

when the walls close in, i say knock em down, have a drink, and maybe build some new ones (eventually).

no one's worth crying over. but then that's not a lesson that can be taught by someone else. you gotta learn it.
good luck.

Midnitesun,

     I think we have all felt this dull aching pain.  It does go away.. it really does. *hugs* to you. You will get through whatever pain is haunting your heart.

Hugs to you,

*sigh* Oh yes....this is a pain I have learned all about. You say it so well that I could almost feel it again. **hugs** May the New Year bless you with love and peace.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

(sad sigh) Oh Kacy, I think we can all relate to these feelings so well, for while I haven't held love to my heart yet, I love my RosePetal so very much, yet I can't help but cry if distance would always keep us apart and I'm welled with anxiety! (big hugggsssss) Always listen to your loving heart, sweet friend, and may the New Year bring you a great new hope and joy of love! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!

heart:

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Midnitesun, I have felt that kind of love but it was and is for a child.  Hopefully, for you, the melting will stop, you will be able to build a stronger love.  Hugs, ME

I have definitely cried myself to sleep many many nights in a row. My crying didnt get me anywhere though, all it did for me is give me puffy eyes in the morning.
Don't cry sweet friend, all we get better!

Midnitesun - I would be lying if I said I never felt that same feeling before.  Very emotive and very good write.

As for now, know you will be HUGGED to sleep by all your friends in the blue pages.

A big hug is on its way to you from Michigan, Kacy.
My answer is yes...
was it worth it...no
I know you feel hurt right now, but we are all your friends and are here for you.
Also please find some solace in your writing...it is great therapy.  I know that it has been for me.

It is a real deep emotion that will tear you up and your words hit on some of that emotion. Very good!

To all my friends, thank you for your heartfelt replies. Love can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when you cannot hold the one you love close, for whatever reasons.
