Carolyn Wilderspin

For Carolyn purdy Hibbert Foy ( wilderspin)
Carolyn, you gave me your heart, your home and your life.
I gave you hurt, tho I wanted you as my wife.
My life was random and yours was laid out, 
Promises I made, very few were borne out.
But here is my problem, a psychologist i did see,
STOP! Said the dr, listen to me.
You have a problem with your insecurities.
So put your divorce on hold, listen to what I say
Wait.... Andy, till the 14th of may.  The date of this chat was February early
And on the day of the lovers... my 
will I gave you freely...


The children also are taken care of, all of this done out of love.
You say I'm closed just like a book, well Carolyn baby you can read every look,
You know me better than any other alive and that's why darling, I want to make you my wife,
The dreams of the future laid out bare, I cannot live them now, I didn't share
My thoughts they were muddled a little bit vague, Carolyn, darling you were my babe.
I'm sorry I lied. But to save a scene, if I had known then it would shatter our dreams,
Your family and friends don't like what I've done, Carolyn please just know you're the one.
The light in the dark, the warmth against chill,  I love you Carolyn and I always will. 
If you forgive me and allow us to be, the happiest honest man in me you will see.


If you can't forgive and do not allow me to stay, a friendship and love will be given away,
I pray that your soul my words you will hear as Carolyn wilderspin my heart will die here,
Here in hell is where I write from, if you walked in the room the light you would show.
This is my promise to your family and friends,  give me a chance to make amends.. I'll love her and honour her with all that I am.....if you will allow me this I'll show you the real man..
Carolyn you're loved..Andy x

A Soldier Missing His Love As He Dies

Carolyn, I am in afghan and Today I stepped out for a while.. I found myself thinking about what is and what has been. You're a distant memory that won't be still... I am a distant memory to you and everything is clean and new. I know this morning, we spoke last night, I try to reason that everything is right.... the days go long, the nights go longer and still I'm here waiting for morning in my stand. The cold comes and the night pulls at me to make a move. You have forgotten the best times and think only of the bad and the smiles and laughter you never had with me. I walk into the darkness, voices heard and wondering if I'm able to come back to the world. It's twisted now and full of regret with many dreams shattered and confusion directing this play as if it were written to be  tragic... a shot rings out... no pain, a warmth that fills these garments with something other than the sweat that the sun brought here all day. Then as I turn a flash and nothing....... I think I'm home.... but there's nothing except the headstone.

Without

I met you today, the lights we installed we chatted about us and all that entailed.  I caught my breath when I saw you and a tear dropped out. I wanted to hold you but I had doubts.
I looked in your eyes, but it wasn't you. I see what I've done and the hurt is so true. You are my love and
In my heart you will stay, the words that I heard were 'just go away'...!
I wanted to talk and that you allowed, I wished I'd stayed longer and my heart wasn't proud, of the things that I've said and the lies that I told I beg you my love please let us grow old.... together in time I know what you need and another will love you where I should have been.

I Lost You

Carolyn, I've tried and I've tried to be a better man. Someone you can relate to honest and calm.

Succeed I will as it's the only way up from this place so dark and full of bad luck.....

Timing it seems is my Achilles heal, loving you allowed me to feel. I felt what it was to have a semblance of calm that allowed me to be the best that I am. 

Now you're gone, another you love and I'm left wondering just what have I done. 
I look for everywhere, you're nowhere to be found I walk the same earth but you're hand in hand with another, not me but looking at him I'm lost my love and I've lost you Carolyn. 

If time passes by and you see me around, smile, walk on... I'll make no sound, but inside I'll be screaming at the top of my voice 'Carolyn, carolyn make me your choice', but you'll never know the words that I say as you've moved on and I've moved away.. time it heals and you heal with time, Carolyn baby you'll do just fine, me on the outside broken but healing will live thru my life with a real lack of feeling, for you see when I said I'd love you forever.... I thought my love would hold us together, but apart we are and you don't trust me, I love you so I set you free.... be happy my love smile and cry... live a full life because I'll love you till I die.... your name it will the last from my lips... as I draw my last breath and I'm broken ,.... in bits....

Look Forward Never Back

When we speak we speak of things of past, never of the future, you think it won't last. This love of mine for you is complete but around we go stamping our feet....

You say I'm no different! I say look again... if you want to see different then open your mind, for I am the man you wished me to be, my anger is not towards you,it's directed at me. 

Mistakes I made, lies I told, my love for you was built from old. Years we have and years we've seen, love me again and memories will be cleaned. New memories made better than before
Open and honest and true to my core. You think you love him and maybe you do, . There in the distance waiting I am for my Carolyn to see the real man. 
I'm here just waiting and hoping and true... I'm waiting, breathing and my soul calls to you.
