There is a language known only by sadness. As moments drip through my thoughts of you I become the comfortable heartbreak known solely by lovers whose hearts are still walking behind them. I have put myself away for now tucked myself into the sweater drawer of life because I have been scorched again by the sunlight and thick material that coveted my heart. I only have a last shuddering sigh to surrender at the end of the day when I have blocked all knowledge of loss and stricken it from the daily routine of rummaging for all the good memories. Yes One last shuddering sigh that gives in to a day of avoidance with it tears and gasping with the strength to make me pull the car over on the way home. Crying time comes a little unexpectedly these days and I am neglecting faith in love again. How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

We must not give up faith in love, for love will always be, and the heart will always find a way. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

As I have said so many times...this depth of sadness brings out the poetic beauty from a torn heart. The conversion to page though deeply emotional and sad is such a genuine form of expression! |
