The curtain descended on the show
at last the cast took a bow

There you were reaching for the stars
my heart you took in you hands that night

You reached for my hand so new
took my life into yours I knew

You told me life was a song
you kissed my breeze all day long

You were my life and love in a sweet melody
we danced into the night

One last time has come as we gather round
all those unforgotten days so lost

Fond memories brought moments of sob'
hurting my heart never to be.... I knew it the moment
again after years of disappointment

Don't go I cry, my eyes gone dry
a hint of goodbye just one more time


This crying for my love my life
I didnt mind the whirl
one last time my love we gather here..


You are and have been my perfect love....

Debbie
United in love.... .............

My mind gets up
prepares for an hour at the gym
shower, then into the office by 8.
My heart is dancing down the beach
the warm sand oozing between my toes
enjoying the sensation of the cold water against the hot sand.
My mind has me where I am supposed to be
properly dressed. disciplined, professional.
My heart is lying in bed with you
caressing your hand, enjoying the subtle
differences in our skin color.
My mind will not give in to fantasy
It will follow all the rules-
even the ones it made up.
While my heart remembers the taste
of you neck and that special little corner
of your smile.
The world lives with my mind-
it is safe there.
My heart lives with you
reckless, wild, no guarantees.
My heart lives with you!

Every 9 seconds an American woman is assaulted or beaten.
How did I survive?
Betrayed by more than just one -
In a time when it was the victim's fault.
Emotional scars that surface
to ensure I never bond or trust.
I love that entertainers want to reveal this ***** secret.
I don't want anyone to have my panic attacks
that triggers asthma attacks
alone with my memories
(desperately searching for my inhaler)
Only me to comfort me
and remind myself
I am safe now.
