My Poets Corner

Where to begin is the hardest part of all What to say, what to write Why is still a mystery Why was I answered and then denied Watching, waiting, wondering; why When I knew the answer all along When I saw it in your eyes Still I managed to fall I opened my heart and soul Only to watch it crumble A feeling I know all too well Yet I can still see you My mind is tortured With images of a time never allowed Joys never felt Feelings never known Never will I be free Never again will I love another Never again will I Open my heart and soul I thought we could be happy Dancing, laughing, playing Only in my dreams Will I see the sweetest of things My heart aches for you To be healed by your warmth To be touched by your words To be loved with your love Not a day goes by Where I wish to hold you To feel your strength To feel your warmth Not a night goes by When I close my eyes I can see you there Where my wildest dreams come true I imagined so much In such a short time Wanted more, much more And got nothing Even after hearing the truth My heart still will not let go Of a dream so real Yet so far I will never be free Yet you gave me strength To make my escape Only to watch it vanish Originally written 2000
