Somewhere Between

The silence between two heartbeats The void between a breath of air That's what I am without you The empty before the stare The space between two seconds A thought, that fades away The place between right and wrong This hell I'm doomed to stay The maybe between yes and no The lost before the found The darkness between life and death The hollow without the sound The sunshine without a shadow A storm without the rain The promise before the lie The scar before the stain The air between two footsteps The falling dream before the wake This pain before the teardrops Is more than I can take

Hey, Larry. Did some research on this "enigma" word. Please disregard it's definitely not you. I'm dropping that word from my vocab. Sorry, hope I didn't offend you, pal. Rgds Ralph

Wow, how profound and poignant. Awesome write, my friend. I was going to say your an enigma, but I'm not sure what that means! Just a word I heard somebody use one time and it sounded like a complement. Mr. Webster didn't help me much. So if it's a complement please accept, if not disregard. Wow what a bunch of dribble - my attempt at humor. Have a good one, Ralph.
