We can only be who we are, and we are only just as strong as we choose to be. We can grow in strength, wisdom and love, but we need first to be willing to do so.

My love for you is so palpable I can cloak it around us,
With feelings always guarding my half written letters.
How often I wish to see you and only you,
To kiss you and finish my guarded letters..... Is all I want!!

Take it Back
She don't know how
The room loses light
Sound vanishes, no faint echos
Just silent and dark
Take it Back
Breaks the silence
She don't know how
Through the dark she feels a stare
Frigid and demanding
Take it Back
This is her last chance
She tries to say it
She don't know how
All warmth gone
Take it back**
This is all she regrets
The absence of this action
Leaves her to be on her own
She don't know how

It is never sweet
To watch and old romantic die
Dreams crushed
Old movie fantasies destroyed
One true love
One true lie
And the old romantic tries

Rose petals and sunsets
And the old romantic cries
From expectations not met yet
Wanting to touch another person
To know them
As lovers do
Inside and out

But the rose petals wilt
Love poems are forgotten
Romantic clichés fade away

The sun sets alone
The sun rises alone
And each second
Another romantic dies

Truth
is not always welcome

but....

I'll say it anyway
I'll say it how it is
