Tell me why you sigh, he says. How can I tell him I sigh for the way things should be But aren't. That each sigh is just a dream Dying. How can I tell him That each sigh I breathe Is a tear turned inside out. How do I say Its each glance at the clock Sitting alone. How can a sigh Be a half empty bed? Tell me whay you sigh, he says. |

Paula, I'm sorry if this is a reflection of your reality, but if it is, something great came out of it--this poem! "How can I tell him That each sigh I breathe Is a tear turned inside out." I'm never going to forget your words... or you because of them!  Luvs 'n hugs, EA |

Paula...this just aches... "How can I tell him That each sigh I breathe Is a tear turned inside out." "How can a sigh Be a half empty bed?" Gawd...I felt this one...every word. Hugs to you, friend,  ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |
