Life After Love

You believe in life after love You went places I did not go. I told you it was breaking down. The foundation of our Love You said hold on a minute I'll be right back. We needed to fix it then I said I waited for you to come back. Forever and a day it seemed But when I saw your face My heart lit up like always And everything else fades away. Then you'd say to me again Hold on to this I'll be right back. I told you, you can't leave, not again. You said to hold this I'll be right back. I promise you this time I mean it. You know I love babe you know I do. I said but what if I get tired and it falls. I trust you I know you won't let it. I said if it shatters on the floor Then it will be to late to fix it. And it will be swept away All that will be left on the floor Are teardrops where I cried.

You express the vulnerability of hurt so well and in a striking fashion. I used to cry so often and lately I can't seem to. I don't know why that is. I guess if I think about things that are really sad, my eyes dampen. But I used to really have rain storms. Hurt is so painful and difficult to bear.

I found a really good one of yours here. You describe well this theme, Debbie. Hey, I looked around but how do I find your Mel Gibson poem. What kind of form did you use and what is its title? Maybe I saw it before?
