Though I smile as we talk
Inside?
My heart cries
one more time
you pull away
telling me that you
are not the man
that I should care for

But you only think
you know what I need
what’s in my heart
my past
my future

You hold me in the present
like a gift you are afraid
to open
for fear it will be
some silly prank
that leaves you
with nothing

You won’t listen to me
won’t hear the words
from my mouth

You think the touch of you
holds nothing more for me
than a momentary
blush of pleasure

But you don’t know
you don’t know

The touch of you leaves
me scarred
branded with you
and it’s a brand
I will wear proudly

you don’t understand
because you see
yourself
in her eyes
not mine

I am not her
I am me

You say I am your muse
for the moment

you are mine
forever

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Sharon, this is so very sad, it can be so heartaching when one fails to realize exactly how much you care for him or her and how one loves one more than the other leaves so many hearts lovelorn! (sad sigh) I send angel hugs out to anyone whose muse is out of reach, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Sharon

Don't see you that much but when finally drag yourself away from work... you work beautifully.

very nicely written Ms Devine... your talent is showing... might want to adjust that so all us mere mortals aren't so dazzled by it. (chuckling)

I enjoyed

I think your "forever muse" shall find you ... when you least expect it... Perhaps it's been right beside you there in the desert all along??...
