To watch you leaving... |

TO WATCH YOU LEAVING... is to know such pain, it's jagged edges tearing into my soul. As a stake from the garden tears into the warm, dark earth. TO WATCH YOU LEAVING... knowing all the while that never again will I fit myself, warm with sleep, against your solid back. Nor hear your steady breathing. Or feel the beating of your heart. TO WATCH YOU LEAVING... aware in every moment of every day that my dreams, my future; once tied with silken ribbons to yours, will never come to be. And the mornings once so silent and hopeful, us gazing at the mountains and so gently awaiting forever... are now but small pieces of my past. TO WATCH YOU LEAVING... your heart a tight fist of anger and your dry eyes betraying nothing of you. I cry for both of us, my love, because you will not. TO WATCH YOU LEAVING... is to know that i've lost my place on this earth. My station. My heart's home. That I will wander, forever a nomad. Alone and afraid. And in my troubled dreams watch you leave, again and again. For the balance of my days. Jocelyn Galvano Pickett 3/1/2000 [This message has been edited by gypsyqlt (edited 03-02-2000).] |

this is SO emotionally amazing.. i felt this poem in many ways...very well written and expressed. your words touch and move me. take care, janet marie Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... Jackson Browne *I miss you baby... I love you...always. |

I admire your writing. Somedays, I think it is better to be the leaver, then the leavee. Perhaps, that is why I am so cold.  But, I have been there, and I feel every word that you write in my heart and in my head. Don't let an experience turn you cold. My advice for the day. Probably not worth much, but...

Thank you all... Danny, thank you, buddy... Janet Marie, I appreciate your kindness. Sonjes, It is very painful, but I am not capable of being cold. Some days I wish I were. Thank you all so much. Now back to "Piggies and Passion", where I belong ! Jocelyn [This message has been edited by gypsyqlt (edited 03-02-2000).] |

Superb I loved this, the format, everything May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

I was in tears by the time I read the last line!! I loved this poem. It hits home. It's hard watching someone leave, someone you really love. I know what you're going through, because I'm going through the same thing. It was beautiful poem!! ~Kelly~ "It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone." |

Great format. And the words are very touching. Beautiful. jannel "I'm just saying that we've mistaken one for thousands of words, and for that mistake I've caused you such pain that I damn that word." -10000 Maniacs "Jezebel" |

Sometimes people leave you emotionally long before they physically walk away. I was in a relationship like that and I knew the day would come when I must also let go and let her walk away, because in her heart she was not really there. James |
