Something Special

I lost something special Just when I was at the threshold The dark forces took hold Many a time this has been told Knowing now that new hands embrace What was once mine this elegant gift of grace Mesmerized I was the moment I faced These thoughts I often retrace The pleasure of leather and lace A connection shared by one who was true Transformed and taken by this evil shrew It was all because of you this evil in her grew Cruelly abused by the family she knew Attracted to negative energies attraction The alcohol is a chemical reaction Be her method of usual distraction Granting momentary satisfaction Recognizing that the love of oneness is true Does not leave me feeling blue For loving still holds harder the glue Refueling my spirit a new To be patient for this is no game Nor do I seek favor and fame For loves fire overcomes the pain No matter how far the distance you name So, no matter where life carries you No matter it is whatever you do From stones and bullets by you My love will always remain with you

For loving still holds harder the glue - deep words. May we all hold on to love, no matter the cost. Nice write, you're something special too.
