[hometext] => Ever post a poem before it's time and wish you would have worded it differently or said more ????? This is one of them times and one of those poems.
[bodytext] => Such small a group to see this one, that served someone so well, how can they know, for nothing shows and none will ever tell. For long has been a mystery..... to them but, most to me to last so long and be so strong tho' it was not set free It wasn't 'cause it wanted more or settled for so much less for love is what this one long yearned or needed so, I guess. Please pity not, what you will hear but, learn from the mistakes that one so blindly, in darkness trod and the toll that it all takes. For it was once so strong and pure it breathed and lived for one all through the night, from dawn's dim light to the setting of the sun. To justify, to one's demise twas not for me to chose but, then one day, was stole away and soon would live for two. And live it did and served so well, the two that it lived for, til that sad day, one slipped away, not wanting anymore. This void was much too hard to take, to one who thought would last for now it's purpose to, live for two .... it's time, it seemed had past It still did live from day to day .... confused and not so brave 'cause what was gone, lost to the wind, it still did deeply crave. For one so strong that lived for two, lost will, to live for one each day it lost a beat or so, til now it lives for none. Why is, we ask, can one soon die, so soon to be no more what drives a heart to beat for two, and left so broke and tore? All present said "it looked so well".... laid there with not a mark they could not see, laid deep inside, the scars were not so stark. So now lay rest, this heart that died, that used to live for two it soon gave way, to slow decay, as broken hearts will do. lost love can lose the will to live, for that one lonely heart it seems not fair, in disrepair the scars so deep and dark Some hearts are made to die just once ...... some are meant to last some hold that hurt kept oh so deep ..... some put it in the past I still don't see, what caused to be, these two who chose to part now quiet peace, interred at rest, a funeral for a heart. .........
