| Love and forever... HA!
Posted: 8/3/2004 7:41:35 PM | Love and forever so rarely go together
Some families multiply, but so many divide..
How can a love so strong,
A love that should have withstood any storm
Come crashing down, leaving emptiness where once the heart thrived.
When you looked at me, and called my name,
Did you love me then?
Was it all just a game?
Or were you just telling me what I wanted to hear?
Sentiments of love, and caring... all just words..none of them real
A painful thought, but it seems quite clear
Your heart was not there, your love not true
Despite the great love that I gave to you
So goodbye to a love, that I gave everything for
Goodbye to the heartache, and the pain I ignore
Being in love taught me so many things
but losing at love has taught me so much more..

I wasn't going to post it after reading some of the others written here
Some very talented people (including yourself)
I don't think I have ever written any form of poetry before, but someone told me its good for the soul.. time (and a bunch of crumpled up paper) will tell I suppose.

Your poem is great, Holly. Bitter and biting. Lava and cold water. Pop rocks and Coke.
Good stuff. Keep 'em coming. | |

Posted: 8/3/2004 10:21:12 PM | Back when I was going through a rough divorce I attended a retreat for widowed, divorced and separted people through my local church. They passed out healing poems and letter which one in particular caught my eye. It is called:
Comes the Dawn
After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to lean that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And learn to build all your roads
on today because tomorrow's ground
it too uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate
Your own Soul, instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong.
Ánd you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn...
with every goodbye you learn.

Posted: 8/4/2004 3:38:57 PM | These blue times they’ve drawn the shade
All I loved that once was high
To face the day without regret
Is like bringing back the ones we’ve lost
When you know damn well they’re gone
Faded roses, shattered vase
Clock watch the waiting sands of time
Out of the jagged rocks, I’ll always catch you in my arms
But in the safe confines of home, its an empty twisted life
Did you forget your vows
All the days before the charm
This evil bed has turned to a nest of broken hearts
