Love Diminished

For you and your eyes only For when you are alone or feeling lonely From my heart to yours And all it endures My thoughts on paper because my mouth can't express the pain It will only allow me to explain without placing blame Held on for months at time Trying to figure out if I'm dumb or just blind And I've come the conclusion that I'm neither Gullable either Taking the back roads to avoid the front streets Making u-turns to diminish the meets and greets Being cautions of what or what not to say On Sunday The day that we exchange our boys from father to mother One year later still dealing with third parties with one another All is forgiven, all has been forgot But holding on any longer I will not

Barretta - i apologize that you must go through these trying times - I know from personal experiences how hard these times can be to face - I thank you for all the kind words regarding my poetry - It is truly a blessing to know your words offer something to others though I must give all the credit to the Lord and my Wife for it was their love that made me who I am today - God Bless you and your Children
