Would you warm my heart again in the cold
Of winter, and my fingers, often in danger
Of splintering?Every moment I am gone,
I miss you.

It seems like years I've spent comatose,
A sleepwalker enveloped in fog,
Reaching out in blindness
For her dream.

My heart beats with dull ache
Inside its confines.It thuds with insistence,
Wearing thin to a brittle breaking point
The bones of its cage.

Would you ever allow yourself again
To hold it gently in your hand?
To melt its frost and let the droplets
Fall like tears?

Foolish lady, I am so entangled in the web you weave I can't break free - by the way, do you see me struggling to pull myself away....beautiful my friend.

(sigh) It seems so many are writing poems about missing someone tonight, I am one who misses my love so so much right now and I yearn for her to come back too! ((hugs)) We all love you so much, sweet friend, my heart goes out to your tears and I hope that now you are reunited with that special someone you've issed, my thoughts are with you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This hurts...I have read it three times, and it still hurts...and the imagery of splintering fingers...is painful...

a good read...you made me feel...

I too can feel the painful ache and loss
within this poem....your feelings are
captured well within...
