Heartless Way

Hand reached through to pull you through Ill always do that for you I held you closely, caring closely you drench my shirt in tears But after all the years I've lifted, held you up said words to build you up You stand firmly now tred your own ground walk side by side, you and I til that day I tripped fell stumbled down swiftly You never broke pace to lift me Striding on, not looking back I lay there, looking on dumbly Its your heartless way that numbed me

Ouch. Yeah, the world is filled with selfish, heartless people. One of life's sad learning lessons. An experience to grow from, and appreciate more, the real people out there who actually care. Love, Shar

Pain, agony, what the heck Voorhees I was totally lulled into such a sweet tender poem of love only to get kicked in the gut at the end. Never trust a poet,,,or maybe that's a man. That was heartless. On the flip side if it wasn't so beautiful it wouldn't have kicked that bad. Great job Alfie. Loveudo, Laurie
