Still More Poetry...

Survival Lost and alone in a sea of illusions, I reach out for you, but your image fades. Desperately struggling to keep my head above water, I hear you call my name. As if thrown a life line, I cling to your memory, knowing you never really loved me, but holding on just in case. Just as the presever slips from my grasp, you give me your hand. Flailing in the icy waters, I touch the tips of your fingers with the tips of mine. Our eyes meet and I realize I must let my love for you drown before before it strangles the life out of me. I pull my hand back and look away. I can't bear to watch as the sea swallows your memory. Suddenly, a blanket is wrapped around my shoulders. My very soul aches from the cold, but my heart still beats. I have survived...

Growth Give me a chance to earn your heart. Let me show you I deserve your trust.
I want to teach you all that I know. I need to learn everything in your soul
We need no boundaries no limits or restraints. As we learn to share and watch love grow.

Just One Night Everyday the pain is less, Though I miss you still, I must confess.
Thoughts of you invade my days, Something you said, your passionate ways.
If I'd known there'd be only one time, Had I have been given some warning sign;
I would have held you tighter, loved you more, Kissed you longer, before you walked out the door.
Now nights are cold and lonely and long, Without you near me, writing our love song.
Letting you go has to be right. A future with you isn't in sight.
Good-bye to you, my love my soul. With you not here, I'll never be whole.

Beth You were so young and full of life. I can't believe you're gone.
When I think of all we shared, I know you're in a better place.
But still my heart aches to know I'll never see you again in this life.
Though over the years we'd drifted apart A apart of you remained in my heart.
Take wings, Beth, and fly. Watch over us all, and wait for us!
Letting Go I love you so, I have no doubt, Yet your feelings are not the same. I need to smile and walk away, But I keep on playing your game.
Insecurity and fear of being alone Have kept me here with you. But now I see, I'll always be alone If I don't find someone new.
What I need, you do not have to give, I've heard it loud and clear. Yet I hoped you'd change your mind And want to keep me near.
Many months and thousands of tears Have passed and now I know I have to tell you good-bye, And I truly have to go.
Trapped I fell for you heart and soul, My need for you burns inside. I fight to break free of your spell, My soul yearns to escape and hide.
Light of day and dark of night, Your countenance changes with the wind. Though my love for you rages like fire, Your hardened heart will never bend.
I struggle to break free and escape, But one word, one look, one touch I'm gone. Rushing towards you, magnetized by your power, Be it early evening or crack of dawn.
I must let you go and learn to live, But somehow I can't seem to breathe Without your darkness, like a growth Reaching outwards, sucking me beneath.
