LETTERS TO STRANGERS

LOVE FORSAKES
THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...

LOVE FORSAKES
January 2, 2000
>Love reached my heart after many years,
>Despite my walls, despite my fears.
>The love I held inside so long,
>Came out at last, but did me wrong.
>I could not bear to feel love's knife,
>It was too late to save this life.
>I tried to trust, I tried to give,
>But found such pain I could not live.
>So here I sit and here I stay,
>Awaiting for that fateful day.
>I'll go to sleep, I will not wake,
>For I have learned how love forsakes.
oh wow, another poem in the group... probably lots of talent in the many people I've yet to meet... this is the exciting and fun part of being away so long, meeting all the new people... but serious deep painful stuff...
sleep to give your heart some peace
sleep to find sweet dreams release
sleep to rest and sleep to heal
but sleep to wake again... more real
even as pain pulls you down
as your smile turns to a frown
when all the ink runs out your pen
keep hope alive you'll love again
honest love, ric
