My Tears

lying in bed in the darkness of the night
softly tears still slip from my eye
recalling how you held my hand
my head cradled on your chest
your soft tender caress
whispers of your past filled the air
and slivers of I love you touched my heart
wanting and hoping but fearing too
heart broken so many times
now nothing is left to even fix with glue
and still this foggy mist of you, clings to me
Why is it so hard to let go?

a used a pen name once Desiree DeCoure...it faned the flames of failure...never did she have a viable relationship I had to retire her. Good verse!!!"Why is it so hard to let go?" because it was meaningful to you! Light & Love

Love is the most beautiful and painful emotion we must endure in life - I have often wondered the same thing - I wish you the best
