Sitting there, the smell of stale beer, of fallen tears and laughter that died. Sipping the last suds off of a stained glass, covered in my own tears as I cried. I sat there, in want of you, I sat there I cried... I sat there, in need of two, this heart and soul that died... I wish to be beside you, I wish that you were there. I want to love and guide you, my darling... I’ve always cared. You came then through that door, you never knew I was there. You came in, across that floor you walked over to him... I sat there, in want of you, I sat there and died...My heart broke without you, I sat there, I cried... We once were in love you know we did things as a team. We walked through the fallen snow...our life then... A dream... I sit there, I dream of you... I sit there, I cry.... I want to again love you... I sit there, I die... |

Sorrow filled my heart recalls, A love that waltzed away with one new. Left here alone for many falls, Reading this my hearts once again breaks in two. Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence the most. |

This is a sad one, but it is a wonderful pouring out of heartfelt emotions. Nothing worse than sitting there while the one you love is loving on someone else. Talk about in your face! A sorrowful write indeed and one I can relate to. Hugs~ |

Barry, you've expressed longing, deep sadness very, very well in this piece. Only hope it's not a true story. Be well! The stars will shine when I am gone, |

You came in, across that floor you walked over to him... This is a scene a thousand and more men could tell, but not describe so concisely and well. Love your work. Ken J Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
