Within My Heart

In the deepest recesses of my heart
I wanted to see you strong and handsome
In one of your fine suits
But my eyes could not deceive me
You stood wearing your addictions
Searing pain pierces me and I am
Forced to look away
In the deepest recesses of my heart
I truly wanted to be wrong
To find some golden thread to mend
Enabling us to rebuild
Now forever all is gone.

thank you for sharing.

Goldennib, thank you. It is often difficult to express our emotions when we are in the midst of a crisis. I hope sharing this will help someone else.
Quilldance: I cry over photos as well. We cannot change the decisions of others, even though they donot realize we feel for them. Often sufffering in silence.
Quasar: Thanks for stopping by. My subject have been a bit heavy this week. The world is sharing this sadness and I felt it was time to place it into the light. I hope it will bring some comfort to someone out there. Thank you for the wonderful photo and inspiring verse.
Katie: thanks for stopping by. My writings are ususally more peaceful. Hope you visit again when I place some fall foliage photos.

The truth is.. that all feelings have value. In my eyes, all your feelings and your thoughts are embraced for the gift they are. I appreciate your poetry... this sharing of yourself in a beautiful way... making "something" more out of your pain. In our evolution, our travels encompass many different lessons for obvious reasons.
You choose to express yourself in a positive, loving way. I admire and appreciate this.
