The Txt

I see her name upon the screen.....
I think:
> Can it be six months, 
> is that really how long it's been?
She says: 
> comfort me as u once did
> I need u now; I always did
I think:
> Was that when my life truly fell,
> into a place that felt like hell?
She says:
> I'm sorry 4 what I did to u
> u know I really didn't mean 2
I think:
> God, I miss her, I miss her so
> Is this a sign that I should follow?
She says:
> come to me, I need u here
> u know that I still luv u deer  
I think:
> I'm 6 months free of fear and doubt
> Of a life of pain, inside and out
She says:
> u said u would be there for me
> the time is now, please come to me
I think:
> I thought that I could rescue you
> But that was never really true
>
> Your fate is up to God and you
> There's nothing any man can do
I say:
> I loved you then and love you now
> I tried the best, as I knew how
> 
> I'll pray for you to find relief
> But I have found a new belief
>
> I cannot save, I cannot solve
> To this, I truly am resolved
>
She says:
> .

Hi Eileen, thank you as always for reading my work and sharing your new 'nom de plume'. Like all poetry, there is some truth, some fiction, some dark and some light; all depends on our point of view. Look forward to reading some of Jade's work! David

So nice to enjoy your verse this cold snowy afternoon, and wish I too could learn that lesson? Light & Love
