Click hereThe face i love
once dark with shadows
now has a shadow of pain
darkening it.
The eyes i love
once shining with desire
now have the sheen of
unshed tears.
pain i caused by my fearful silence
tears i caused by my tearful words
please forgive me
i love you
still
i did not know
i never would
please
you mean everything
still
tossing and turning
as the sleeples night
gives way to dawn
the day drags
life demands
and i plod on.
guilt and sadness swallow me
and i pray on
still.
one letter
in supplication; explanation.
own; atone;
leave it alone.
the process needs to be.
lesson learned.
let it go.
still...
a new day dawns
and i arise
fullfill my duties
go 'bout my business
and then --
the phone rings
the familiar tone
my heart leaps
The voice huskly low
"hello"
hope lives, love wins.
i am his.
still.
i know just how you feel. heres a motto for you, sweetie.
~~Dum spiro spero~~.
It's on the state seal of SC and it means, "While I breathe, I hope".
best wishes!! ~~ maria
