Lurk You invade me, my mind Over and over again You haunt my memories You lurk in every shadow And around every corner I can’t close my eyes Without seeing your face Feeling your hands I can still smell your cologne When I’m walking in crowds And it makes me shake Makes my skin shudder The few and far between days When your vision isn’t Stalking my silent thoughts I am reminded at night When I wake with a cry Slick with sweat Afraid of going back to sleep Back to the darkened times To the place I can’t seem to escape. I wasn't sure if this is ok here.. if it has to be moved to dark, go right ahead. "My heart is like an open book, for the whole world to read" |

Tara, this is a beautiful poem, expressing such truthful emotions. There is nothing dark about it. Truth is always LIGHT. Thanks for sharing, ((Tara)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

*sigh* a big warm hug from me to you...I share such nightmares of this from my past..and all I can say is that with time and learning how to deal with it it becomes easier...I no longer fear the one who haunted me because I was able to forgive him...**big big hugs** My heart goes out to you, dear one. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

dear, take heart... it's long over..... barry - you're right, he's not in control - least of all because if i ever get my hands on him he will regret it for the rest of his very short, very unpleasant time with us |

rosepetals25, It seems that the lurk is a jerk. Let me at him! I hate these kind of challenges. Such needless pain and fear. Man I hate it. But it is so good that you are willing to share this. It is very well expressed and helps us who don't know those feelings to try and understand. Good job. |

Well I know these feelings all too well, and you wrote it out well, but keep doing it, eventually they disappear and you gain your own control back. Keep writing. ~* Carpe' Diem *~ |

Thank you again everyone for stopping in. You are so wonderful for showing so much support. I do think it is sad that so many of you can relate so well to this poem. My heart goes out to you all as well. It is encouraging to read your replies, to see that at some point it will get better. Hugs to you all [This message has been edited by rosepetals25 (02-06-2002 11:21 AM).] |
