Webshots ~*~ If you are hurt and heartbroken from a shattered love Please know that I understand for I have been there before I know the ache and pain of the heart when someone Twists and turns like a knife in heart seeming not to realize or care They keep doing their thing fulfilling their own desires, not caring That they are trampling all over the wants and love of you I know the feeling that things would never change That those feelings of despair would last all of my days The feelings of rejection when they start a new relatonship Crushing my pride with his own and could care less for doing it And then.... Just when I came to terms with being all alone Because I would never let myself trust enough to again fall in love He came into my life bringing with him a love as I have never known before loving me as much as he loves himself I still have those feelings of doubt and fear at times But, the feelings of those are happening farther and much farther between I want to thank my Love for giving his love to me Complete with his heart and all the rest of himself ....unconditionally |

(big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this made me cry because you are a very loving friend and poetess and I have felt heartache from Joanna and dream so much of finding a woman with a heart that's giving and magical just like your Gary's heart! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

I know this feeling of which you speak! My last love broke me and to this day I still fear it happening again, but the new love of my life has changed it all with his sweet selflessness and I thank him everyday. I related well and I loved the flow of words and the rhythm of the poem as well. ~Live and Laugh~ The problem with resisting temptation is you never know if you'll get the chance again |

wishing it were true it's utterly difficult to trust anyone once you are hurt. |

"unconditionally"...the way it should always be, the way I see it. If not - it "shouldn't" be at all. Well written, my friend. jwesley |

Dixie, my friend, please never give up hope. There is someone out there just for you, who will give YOU all the love, care, and respect that you deserve so much. You are a very loving and giving person, so I just KNOW that you will meet that special person one day. Hugs to you, my friend Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-31-2003 12:27 PM).] |

Hi Gemma I thought of you as I was writing this. Like I told Dixie, I do believe there's someone out there just for you. And, it might be like it was when Gary and I met....happening very unexpectedly. But, after it does happen, you will be so happy about it.... just like I am. I just wish that I could do more to help all of you who are going through these heartaches. I know that they are an awful hurt. Love you too, my friend Hugs Ethel |

ambrish, you are so right...it's one of the hardest things a person will ever do. If you are specaking of yourself, I do hope that someone will come into your life that you can trust, completely. . Dear sweet Donna...I know that you know... and are still knowing. The same I said to Dixie and Gemma applies to you, too. You deserve so much better than you were given.. and it may come when you least expect it. So keep the faith and hope. Love ya, my friend. . . I appreciate all of you very much Hugs Ethel |

Oh Sue, my friend...I know that you do. And like I've told you before, there is your special someone out there somewhere. I love that song... "Somewhere Out There", don't you? Love ya, sweet lady. . James, that's the way I feel, too. If it's not unconditional, there is always something missing. If someone has never been loved this way before, they really don't know what they are missing. From your poems, I can tell that you understand. Thanks. . Thank you so much, Lauren. You are so sweet, and it can come to you again. As I told the others, I believe it will, because you have a lot of love in your heart to give. I want to thank you, too, for helping me in the Teen Forum these past two weeks while I've been on DM rotation. Goodness, it's been BUSY back there, hasn't it? But I love it. Those teens are all so sweet, aren't they? . . I appreciate all of you Hugs Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-31-2003 12:50 PM).] |

This poem should be required reading for anyone who believes they might ever fall in love... and for anyone who doesn't. You do understand, and so very well. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Oh, lady... this is so true... and you've written it so beautifully. *S* Sometimes I think life pulverizes our hearts... often to the point where we think it's dead and unresponsive... and even hope that's the case. *S* But when the right person finally shows up, there's no hardness left... only pliable particles that can expand to the limitless horizons of unconditional acceptance. *S* |

This was such a lovely poem of hope for the heartbroken.... it will mend... it just takes time. We all have to kiss our appointed number of frogs before we actually find our prince... and sometimes we wonder how many times well just end up with warts on our lips instead... but it does happen. It just takes a while to learn to trust and love again. I am glad you have found you prince. If you wanna see how many frogs kisssed it takes to find a prince come see my Love Story Super Poem, Poet Lady!!! Sherry [This message has been edited by Magicmystery (11-10-2003 08:24 AM).] |
