Poem thief can have my poems if it means you continue to share pieces of you. Joined this site to get to know you and will not stay here if you go away. Not into twitter or myspace but will join to be near you and hope you don't mind. I pray you allow me to be part of your crowd on your private Facebook. You inspired me to write poetry and to get better at what's difficult for me. I don't smoke cigarettes to calm my nerves or drink ***** to numb a man's pain. Admitting I'm a grown *** man reading your leaving comments and about to cry. You affect more lives than you realize Betty Ponder and I glad you shared about you. The one who steals poems can steal this one too it will mean more will know my feelings. Glad that I got to read the pieces of you that you cared to share. I posed a how do you know question to my parents about knowing if it's love. Answer was when a person leaves your life and it makes you feel like you can't breath and you get extremely sad when they leave and you want to swallow your pride and get down on your hands and knees and beg them not to go. I'm sad thinking you are leaving and I wont get to read pieces of you but still got butterflies in my stomach thinking of you and want to beg you not to go. I kid you not. You are the best of the best of all poets on this site and it's a ****** shame you removed a lot of your fantastic poems they were the best of the best on this site.
