She remembers his face
the seriousness in his eyes
when she pushed him away
but the longing in his mind
convinced him to stay
he has to have her
he already does
he knows how it was
but can’t live without her love
she gives him…
every wall she ever built
came crashing down
and he loves her still
as she wanders around
all over town
looking for what?
for whom?
she can’t even see
her thoughts are not free
they’re as confining as jail
while she’s locked in her chair
wishing on stars
that shine on her there
enlightening her mind in faded hues
of colors so bright
he arrives in the night
holds her so tight
nothing feels more right
until she says no
she’s got to let go…
but he stands in her way
he will not be swayed
as he stares at her face
she’s ripping his heart out
and he can’t help but shout
“Is this what you want?”
as he too gives it a squeeze
“NO, DON’T!” she cries
“It’s now your heart and mine
they truly combine
two are now one
there’s a song to be sung
with a rhythm so sweet
without yours in me
neither would beat
we’re just not complete
words, they don’t flow
your eyes lose their glow
we have to go slow
tell me you know
this is our time
this is our place
but for true love’s ballad
we can surely wait.”

such anguish, conflict, passion, and turmoil. It makes me feel mixed up.

Thank you kc, I don't recall seeing you around on the board yet, so I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.. and that you posted on my work..

I'm so sorry Sinner, I didn't mean to cause pain.. the spirit drove me to write this, and at the time it was a happy one.. and yet like you said, conflicted to.. I can see that now through fresh eyes.. it's a gift from God to have friends that can see me more clearly than I can see my self, and to share in my experiences with me is priceless... thank you for your honest feedback..

Awe such emotional prison. The emotional hole we are in gets deeper as we dig our way into what seems to be a bottomless pit. Eventually we arrive in a place where our emotions control us, we are in prison! We are firmly planted and sealed in our own unique and personal emotional prison. Lucky the reasoning heart has the key to unlock us from our emotional prison.

Hello Jeff, I love how you are able to see what is.. and to explain it to me so easily.. thank you my friend..

Jeff...
