Dear God

Dear God, I said to him There is a stone where my heart should be No matter how deep I dig within myself I can't seem to feel anything anymore I watch the little girl with the dirty face She's eating ice cream and has smeared it Dear God, As I said to him There is a stone where my heart should be I have all these memories floating within I can't seem to remember how they feel Pain seems to be dripping from the walls You just think and there it is as always Dear God, I was saying to him There is a stone where my heart should be It's hard to look out from the world within Sometimes there is a dis - connect Fantasy and reality seem to be mixing Then you just don't know where to begin Dear God, I should have said to him There is a stone where my heart should be Things might be different if not for the dance Yes I'm sure, things would be different Things changed in my world after the dance It gets lonely when you live inside your mind Dear God, I said to him There is a stone where my heart should be I thought there was love, yes I'm sure of it Though you took that from me didn't you Nothing and no one can help me now So I'll just stay here, within myself Jan. 11th, 2010

I feel the pain, repair and loneliness. It's part of the suffering you have had to endure. I hope your life is much better now. I am thinking, hoping and sending you good vibes through the ether. Later.

I like the line you titled it and used throughout the poem. It's a great line to do many stanzas off it, as you have done. Good one, Debbie.

there's a hole where my heart use to be ; beating and vibrant but now as silent as can be. you stole the very heart of me. with every law my mother ever taught me. yuou put a hole where a heart should be.
