The pain in my heart
Burns like a flame
Day and night I've no rest
My love I cannot tame.

I've never been that girl
The one they feel sorry for
Longing for the one
Who walked out the door.

Push it aside
And get over it fast
It was always so easy
I guess that's in the past.

Maybe it's not me
I'm not the thing that's changed
Perhaps it's really love
And I'll never be the same.

For now all I can do
Is hope and pray alone
That the love I feel for you
Does not turn my heart to stone.

((((Ruth))))

nice one.lov it.

Poignant.

Thank you, everyone.

Spider, what you wrote today on my page....that was very poetic and moving. Thank you for listening to me lately. Your words brought a smile to my face when I read that. And, that's hard to do right now.

I started thinking about it last night and decided that you deserved more than just a tiny blurb. You have sent chills down my spine twice when we were talking, because you seemed to have a direct line into my brain.

Nothing but love Ruthie!!!

Beautiful write.....
