What Right Do You Have what right do you have to ask me of my happiness now maybe somewhere I still care for you but I’ll keep that well hidden I had only wished to touch your heart it is clear to me that I didn’t there was a time when you were my air and it took my breath away but you found you had no time or place for me unless you had a lonely day you do not understand my heart and all that it is, it feels I was of no concern to you and the love I could create and all allowed by you was wait yet, I am a woman that is so real and on sunny days in clear skies you made me rain it fell so silently alone against clear pain how sad for me and for you that I was not among the chosen few you may be the sky but I am the earth and you missed my worth never once did you invite me in or to a special place just told me of the others then cleaned and wiped me up in your life without a trace still I held on to a dream and you let me you were not my friend blindly I just did not see disappointment was the only promise that you gave you have such sad eyes and the clock ticks away touch is a want humans crave there was a time you made me think life could be so sweet but never in a chance could expectations be bold I sat watching the slow water flow it is a blue bayou in a southern cold I wonder now at night do you still drink alone does it help you forget burning fires in the emptiness truly that aches your bones and in the light pretending to be so strong in a bottle and in life what is it that you truly seek there is no perfection in this world humans get so twirled and curled and it all finds you weak I never ask you for anything but I want to know how when my pain doesn’t show what right do you have to ask me of my happiness now just some words cut out |

Sad story Helen. They say that memories fade ... but our hearts never forget. hugs to you, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

"does it help you forget burning fires in the emptiness truly that aches your bones and in the light pretending to be so strong in a bottle and in life" sadly, many souls DO find consolation within the bottle of loneliness |
