Array ( [sid] => 28877 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => If Only [time] => 2003-12-08 11:45:03 [hometext] => When you feel safe enough,when home is found...the soul becomes willing and the wounds start to heal [bodytext] => If only I could reach out and touch you...
Though,It would be enough just to watch from a doorway

Through the silence,to hear your breathing...
It would be all I needed...
To sustain me,and hold me
Where dreams escape and memories awaken me

If only my wanderings were not in vain...
Coming full circle,returning to the same emptiness

Secret vows made...
To never pass this way again
Yet in the shadows,your heart stands
Walks to me and takes my rigid breath
Returning to me,the gift of sighs

My dear loving friend, i felt this one too!
For when a wonderful love is lost to you....
You mourn so deeply, and thorougly,
you feel every emotions possibly even revelry

No one can fill the void but you.
Accept your fate, and help your crew.
Stay busy, and in time...you never get over,
just learn to adjust.
Sharon I even got mad....yes, raging mad...because I was so sad...mad at him because he died...I know that sounds like suicide...but it really did help somehow...Drs. now days say it'a just normal, not formal. You feel every emotion there is to feel
I'm sorry you are so blue my dear, wish there was something I could do?
This poem was precious....and in touch with you heart's bleeding &breaking with sorrow, tearful write.
Warm hugs and love,
ConSue

I guess I am reading this differently than the others. Could be the booze, but it seems to me to be a love found poem, not a love lost poem. The heart walks to you to give you sighs of happiness, not of torment. Either way it is beautiful.
