Bound and DeterminedMy heart starts to ache, when Remembering those times We had once shared When our love was brand new And I had no doubt that You really cared How could I have known That there would come a time It would all come to an end, and I would go a different way With no one even there To wipe away those tears I would sometimes shed It has taken me a while To get over the love lost And the unbearable pain I had felt inside my heart The betrayal of trust I once so freely gave But, I finally did It hasn't been easy for me Still, I never gave up I was bound and determined Just to show you my dear What I was really made of That, I didn't need you The way, you thought I did Unlike you, my dear man I had live on my own For many, many years And knew I could, once again Although, my days are lonely I wouldn't trade the loneliness For what I went through, with you I will continue on struggling Through each and everyday With all those hardships That continually keep coming Until I finally succeed In having those things, which Mean so much to me 7-9-06 |

You are a strong woman Sue.. You've come a long long way. And I for one am very very proud of you! Hugs~Nancy For it was not into my ear you whispered But into my heart.. It was not my lips you kissed But my soul. |

Though the pain is coming back at times, you are safe now within this present which you create step by step and which is unfolding beautifully. Wise words, dear Sue! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

I'm a firm believer that everything in this life happens for a reason and shapes our lives, makes us stronger, etc. I can feel the pain, melancholy and the awesome strength in your penned words. My father, when I have troubles, always says the same handful of words to me and, though they may not be the most supportive, they are true: This too shall pass, and you shall be stronger for it. Thank you for sharing, writing is a kind of self-therapy, isn't it? Please keep writing, I look forward to seeing more from you. ~*divine chaos*~ The artist is nothing without the gift, |

I don't know you, but reading your words made me proud of you. The pain is apparent, but your strength is carrying you forward. Wow. You carry a message that many of us can reflect upon. aziza |

"I wouldn't trade the loneliness For what I went through, with you" In 1983, I made that very decision making process and started a new life. Hang in there. It does get better. *hugs*....jo |

"Although, my days are lonely I wouldn't trade the loneliness For what I went through, with you" ~ Sue, you really are one smart chick! Keep those thoughts! As I have told my daughters, I would rather be without a man than be with the wrong one! God bless you, my sweet friend! The journey is not always easy, but the destination is worth all the hassles that you go through to get there!  Giving you a great big hug of love! Linda |
