What is draining the sweet nectar of life and love from me? I feel myself free falling plummeting into a dark abyss I feel like I had everything when I had you Now I have nothing without you It's hard to tell myself it wasn't meant to be Isn't and will never be Tears were written in the stars The day you kissed me My heart is destined to be chained to the past I'm not strong enough to convince myself otherwise sometimes You look upon me in a fashion I'm not used to and that's what scares me I'm weak when I'm around you uncertain of how to act when you hold me Thats why I run My frame of mind stubborn make believing that one day you will leave me once you figure out I'm not as strong as you make me out to be I have to go because I don't want to let you down I'm free falling from my throne I don't want you to see the shattered tiara you placed upon my head only to find me... If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

I know this one very well, men, fear what they shouldn't, woman have a sixth sense, and know, your only human...people make mistakes, people are not knights in shining armor...don't be afraid or fear being yourself...cuz if she doesn't love you for you, then who the heck does she love? Talk to her, allow her to see you, and the wonders of you... Wonderful write, waking the reader up to the fact that love is not always what we dream it up to be. Honestly, used to date this fella a long long time ago, and he was so afraid, I'd see him as he really was, and not someone he played a part to be for me, but what he didn't know is, but I knew and also knew he was afraid. |

Kristen~ 'I'm free falling from my throne I don't want you to see the shattered tiara you placed upon my head only to find me...' The poignancy in this piece speaks volumes~ Sometimes the perceived pedastal is not strong enough to hold the true vision of those we place upon it~ It's a heavy crown to wear~ It's really nice to see you~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*No matter what I search for ... |

Ceinwyn, I felt this one, having been in a situation like that, roles reversed. The corollary of the ‘knight-in-shining-armor’ - luckily, the person saw through the armor (must have been her 6th sense), the real me, the one I would eventually become. The face of perfection we put on, trying to cover our ‘faults’, is in itself, our greatest fault. I feel a true perfection lies in the acceptance of our human vulnerabilities, our so called ‘faults' - for it is those that truly make us unique individuals. And true love and honest relationships can only develop from an attraction between our ‘uniqueness, not between the masks we wear. For the shining armor, and the tiara, are but ideals we strive for, but we cannot substitute them for reality. We cannot walk on water. Do not fear to take the mask off - for you may find that your ‘uniqueness’ may prove to be a greater attraction, than you had thought. CG |

yea i have been in this one. yet i still understand and forgive and show i will always be there, for true love stays within a heart. fear of love, is what breaks the heart. My spirit will rise |

Kristen, it's been a while! From reading your very sad poem, I gather that all has not been well in your world. You have such a kind and loving heart. I know that you have been taking on the pain of others and how that can drain your energies and cause you to lose your sense of self. You are a princess ~ inside and out! ~ and you deserve to wear that tiara!!! To know you is to love you, so don't be afraid to show the real you. Sending you lots of love and a great big sisterly hug! Linda |
