I always hate it when Bill enters the bar reminding me of Caroline Mary how she left me for him God I've been lonely since. after all she promised me love and faithfulness openly in front of others saying she was dedicated to our future using forever words I'm getting used to the loneliness but I can't get over the results results that can't be avoided when love becomes history and one's soul is devoured by the heart seeking more than just being a pump cursing the wrong life serves up leaving a living corpse cold with reality.... Is is so wrong to want love closure?? Thank you God for giving us love but why can't your creations live by the morals you created to make love special, a sanctuary for peace of mind with family roots spreading through all of mankind a home for tenderness despite the imperfections that make us wanting......... imperfections that responsible lovers bridge in loving recognition I can't understand why I have to be a storage container holding a tortured past. out of the entire affair it was me totally without doubt, in innocence......yes, innocence! Don't tell me this is the GD 21st.century! Did someone change the makeup of the heart? If so, I don't want it! Send my heart to hell and let it burn with Caroline Mary's Then she'll have to accept the responsibility of recklessly HURTING SOMEONE! |

sighing to say "I feel your pain" is said so often now it loses meaning-- but these lines here: "I'm getting used to the loneliness but I can't get over the results" (someone once told me that I keep looking for answers to things that weren't questions and I can't seem to forget him telling me THAT either) and this: "I can't understand why I have to be a storage container holding a tortured past." (nodding again here, I feel like one of those commercials that depict cheap garbage bags--I need a HEFTY bag for my heart debris--blush) and finally with this: "Send my heart to hell and let it burn with Caroline Mary's Then she'll have to accept the responsibility of recklessly HURTING SOMEONE!" (my idea of Hell is something along the lines of being made to feel all the pain that I caused others....  --how do you apologize for that?)*heart-hugs* my sweet friend May the new year hold as much joy as you have given to others. If it does? You will need a hefty bag for the bliss!  |

No Your heart is needed for your words no matter what Too easy to bay at the moon for too long Too easy to find the wrong way Too easy to take the easy way And we all do it Excellent words from you as usual Dave |

"Don't tell me this is the GD 21st.century!" ~ IWTIHWT (I wish that I had written that! ~ and said it many a time!) A powerful piece of solar-plexus-punching poetry! Linda May the new year be as kind to you as you are to others!  |

No, it isn't wrong and this is so very close to home, I am sorry. I can't get over the results results that can't be avoided when love becomes history and one's soul is devoured by the heart seeking more than just being a pump cursing the wrong life serves up leaving a living corpse cold with reality.... Is is so wrong to want love closure?? |

~hugs~  Eric, I don't think anyone fully recovers from what you are going through, you get on with life, move on and find someone new but the hurt and the damage stays with you forever...the best thing is to forgive but this comes only in time and when you are ready, it took me alot of years to forgive and now that I've done so I feel peace and freedom. I hope you find peace soon, take care ~hugs~ Tracie Love is the life of the soul... |

quote: Rediscover the innocence and leave the torture in the past. It sounds easy I know, but it isn't, still it CAN BE DONE. This is the time to begin anew, to look and walk ahead. Powerful poem, painful in its intensity. Love, Margherita |
