~*~*~

I wish you didn't have to go
there's no more talking in my sleep
I never wanted to lose connection
but I'm not afraid of the dark
I just need to run out of tears

I wish I'd never known.

I'll look forward to better days
and take comfort in the warmth
as it moves across the sky
the same blue sky as you and I
just a different star

I wish I didn't have to fall.

When the clouds roll in and hover
I'll wrap around them and take cover
then sing another song
and let it carry me away
like smoke rings in the mirror

I wish they'd never blown.

~*~*~

sometimes ya just gotta
look next door
at the other star

as you get closer
they say they get brighter
than the one before?

Such a beautiful poem, but so wistful....I wish it weren't so for you, and I know it won't always be.

very wise to look at this part of your life in a healing way which will compliment the both of you

Lovely write

nicely done... but wishing we hadn't fallen is like wishing we never felt.. both hurt... but the journey until the thud, can be quite enjoyable.

I have a feeling, there are many songs in you to sing.

The stars are the same it's the people that are different..and they way they choose to view those stars...

Well done.

Lori,
How I love your use of nature to convey such deep feelings. It has double the punch, I think. And once again you write so very well.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Lori, I feel the pain in this and am reminded of the words...I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance.

Aw hon, may your dances all be beautiful..
heart hugs.

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....
