Heart of Gold

I feel my heart tearing apart,
A piece of my soul is gone.
I've been ripped away from the woman of my heart.

I miss the warmth of her smiles,
That heats my soul,
Her touch that comforts me
And shows she cares.
She is the woman with a heart of gold.

Our fate is held in the hands of the higher being.
Only time will tell what our future holds.
But for now I know I am loved by
Woman with a heart of gold.

Starry night

I look up in the sky on this starry night and think of you,
This distance between us is not so great when we look
Heavens. For if we look at the same star on the same night
We are close in the vastness of the universe.

I look to the North Star and wonder where you are and what
Is going on in your life. Wondering if you think of me as I
Think of you. Knowing that I love you and hold you close to
My heart and soul.

I look to my heart and wonder if this love is real or if I dream,
For if it is a dream I do not want to wake. Let me enjoy this
For a while more.

I look to my soul wondering if we will share a starry night together
To gaze upon the heavens as one. To look to that same star hand
In hand, for to me that would be the greatest gift, next to knowing
Of your love for me.

I look to your hand, asking for it, hoping to enjoy a part of your life
If only for a little while. Take my hand, take my heart, and take my soul,
For you have my love. Let us enjoy this night while it last.

The Dark of Night

The night seems so dark at times, the ghost of the past come back to haunt,
All the wrongs of the past come to light in the dark of the night.
The night grows
Cold and lonely, the hurt grows stronger, the tears come harder.
The pain grows
Deeper.

I can see there is light beyond, but the pain holds me under, drowning
my soul, tugging
My heart, holding me under. I reach towards the light only to be
dragged back down. The
Chill of the night wears through me, touching me to my very core of
existence.

I struggle to push the darkness from the depths of my soul, to stubble
towards the light only
To feel the pain grow stronger. The night goes on… I reflect on the
past, the many good
Things in my life that I have messed up, the pain and hurt I have
caused. Should I let the night
Engulf me? Is there really light at the end of the tunnel?

The night grows on I huddle in the corner, praying to make it through
another night, that I may
See the light of day again, that my soul may heal. That the pain may go
away, I see a shadow
At the end of the night, could it be there for me? Waiting to take the
nights hurts and fears away?
I see the light wanting it to embrace me. I reach my hand towards the
light, hoping at last
Some freedom from this pain and hurt I have caused.

The night seems so dark at times, the ghost of hurt and pain come back
to haunt me. I reach for
The light, please let there be light at the end of the darkness, to help
the pain and hurt grow weaker.

My Dreams

In my dreams I see you, I know you are with me,
We are separate, far from each other, farther then the
Eye can see. Yet you are with me.
As I close my eyes I think of you, my last thought is
Of you during the night. Your sweet face is before me
As I drift away into sleep. Your love carries me through the
Night. My dreams close the distance between us.
In my dreams I remember us as we were, the laughter, the
Smiles, the smells,
My dreams help make me feel closer to you.
In the morning I wake feeling you have been with
Me through the night, I roll over and you are not there.
I feel saddened. But rejoice that you were with me
In my heart my mind and soul though out the night.
My dreams of you keep me sane, keep me safe. I
Dream only of you my love.............

Drowning

The nigh is dark and cold, I feel lost and lonely in a
World full of life and love. I am lost with no were to go
I have a home but feel I am out in the cold. My heart is
Breaking, I fear the unknown, I grow wiry of the days.
I try to pull myself up and out of the dark but only to
Be drug back into the dark abyss.
I can find no solutions and fear I never will. I can find
No hope and fear I never will. My heart is heavy to
Think I can never find a solution to my pain. Can I ever
Conquer the inadequate feelings inside. I have no desire to
Drown in this dark abyss, but I see no light in which to guide
Me out. I need a rope, a hand, a light to guide me. I need
A savior to help me through. I am drowning in this darkness
Of my soul.

Missing, Reaching, Loving..

You were not there. My heart aches to hear
Your loving words. My body aches to feel
Your loving touch.
I ached to touch you and hold you,
But you were not there. My lips long for yours
Pressed against mine. My hands wanting to
Hold yours, but are empty.

I desire to wrap my body around you to be held
But you were not there. My soul aches to be
Joined with you once again. I feel a part of me is
Missing because you were not there.

I woke up this morning and reached for you,
You were not there. My other half was gone,
Loneliness over came me. I opened my eyes
You were not there. A tear feel, a heart broke,
A soul torn apart, you are not here.

Love Eludes

Why does love elude me, what have I done to make love avoid me,
I fall for the wrong person, for either they have another, or the
distance
Is to great, why can't I find someone. Time and time again I let my
Heart rule, inside I always ends up hurt. Not because of them, for I can

Never tell the one I fall for, it hurts so much to be lonely, I never
thought
To want love would hurt so much.

I have so much love to give my heart is heavy with the burden. I
Put on a good face and deceive others of my true feelings. For if I open
up
I fear the tears will never stop. What have I done to make love avoid
me.
Please can anyone tell me, before my heart reaches such despair that
there
Is no return and I whither away and become bitter. For that is what will
happen
I long to yell I LOVE YOU. But alas for this woman, I fear I will never
have a
Soul mate. It is my destiny to walk alone. For love will always elude me.

Hearts Given

My heart is given; my soul is divided,
I offer you both.
You give me your heart; your soul is divided.
You offer me both.
Together, two hearts two souls.
Each hold part of the other.

Forgive me

I fall on my knees, and I beg for your
Forgiveness. Let me take your hand
And tell you that I love you.
Forgive my thoughtlessness, I
Plead. For at times I fail you when
You are in need.

I fall on my knees, and pledge my love
For you. I give you my heart, I give you
My soul.
I kneel before you and hope you can find it
To forgive me. For I know you love me
Too.
