"I read a poem once about a guy who was once with a girl who used him and who vowed never to let such a thing happen again.  It made me want to reach out to that guy.  I couldn't help but respond to his words."

No fort is unpenetrable
No castle unbreached
You let your guard down
And havoc she wreaked
Now you've locked away your heart
And thrown away the key
Now what am I to do
Since you've blocked your love from me?
You won't give me the chance
To heal what's she's done
Now I just look from afar
And try to stop the love that's already begun
I wanted to love you
But you wouldn't let me
You just wanted to sit in her destruction
And all I could do was let you be

"The only love there is, is the love we make."--Prince

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Jacqueline, this is so very heartaching, I know this feeling so very well, and it happens to both boys and girls all the time and it saddens me how they are taken advantage of and those who are hurt see themselves as fools when I only hope we can help them all prove it is not their faults at all! (kiss on cheek) My heart goes out to everyone hurt by this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet J.K, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

True,isn't it? Sometimes a heart is hurt too much to get over it. I hope mine does not turn out like his.
Good write, I like it lots..

This was such a beautiful and moving piece of writing.  I could almost see his heart bleed for his lost love and I could feel the love and longing in your heart as you tried to help.  This was so lovely and so very much enjoyed.

Take care.......Sue

Yes timing is important...and we need time to heal in between relationships or we could end up taking it out on the new one...James
