Should have never listened
Her truth not mine
Looking back needed to move forward
Couldn't play her games
Her rules were not honest and true
Maybe just for her because she had to be the winner
How can you love somebody but not like them?
I did
I do
Heaven only knows these lessons
Took another set of eyes to see what I was blind to see.
I was an enabler.

that smile from a distant moment
a moment in time
that burns forever in my dreams

my high school crush
that I let slip away
we shared poetry and laughter
but never love
for I had another
and did not recognize  
that she was the one
meant to be

how perfect it was
that smile
it was real
it was...emotion

fifty years later
and the smile I expected to see again
in other faces
other dreams
never came
Like a Gingerbread village
Smashed by an angry child
The
     broken
                  pieces    
                            lay
Scattered across the desert.
             ~/#^//~•º#~

Every shard a broken dream
And hopeless vision of the future.
Every
            pile
                    of
                          crumpled!rubble
Hides beneath it bleak tomorrows.
                  ~/#^//~•ª#~

What can ever be constructed
From the
                frac
                        tur
        ­                        ed
                                      shards of
Hopelessness and heartless evil.
That bar the road to being whole again.

Took me well over an hour shifting words 2 spaces this way and 4 spaces that way.  The way you post it is not the way it shows up when you save it.  That's so frustrating.  One of the reasons I never try this format for HP stuff.
Life is a needle
I am a Camel
What hope is
There for me.

Read your Bible. It's interesting.
