Rising Phoenix Posted May 27, 2003 Once a joyful place Now there are tears on an old face Lined by wrinkles, weather and pain Settle down and let me tell you my story again Once the smiles he threw my way The way he called to say “good day?” All of his love, that once was mine It all faded, eroded by time Once the hugs we shared The way he showed me he cared The hott-hott fire, the ground-shaking kissing All the lovemaking is what I’m missing The tears and laughter he brought into my life The tender way he asked me to be his wife The look in his eyes, that was no surprise I had to breathe and count to five... You never know what you have until its lost Simple suspicion broke years of trust “Yeah, its true, but I did it for you!” “I loved you! Why’d you do it, boo?” It’s hard to regain, what once was lost The price too high, un-payable the cost The tears came and then they went I tried to plead, but his will didn’t bend Oh, It’s not hard to see exactly why He always told me, he hated the lie But I didn’t listen and now I cry Struggling to forget, the day he said goodbye I still remember the look on his face Disbelief. Anguished surprise. Pain and hurt....Anger The smiles and laughter died within and turned old With agony I remember the day he turned cold The pain cuts, more than what I did The pain of knowing what I hid I couldn’t tell him the story right away, understandably I couldn’t tell him straight after...I killed our unborn baby... ~harmonyangel~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mowgli Posted May 27, 2003 Salaams Beautiful poem harmony...Abortion seems to be more and more accepted in the society we live in...in England abortion is made illegal after a fetus reaches 24 weeks (becomes considered a person)...but what is the baby is 23 ...life does not seem to have a meaning...Anywayz...I just wanted to add my thoughts... A tiny life, just barely begun A little baby, won’t see the sun It’s up to her, she's made her choice But doubt sits heavy in her my voice Tiny fists, clenched so tight She wonders "Is what I am doing right?" Miniscule feet, sit up above This little child, conceived by love... The metal tube, so long and thin It sucks the life from deep within A tiny life, will never see day And she, the mother, just walks away.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOVE_BIRD Posted June 17, 2003 Day by Day Floating down the river of life, A raft my only shelter, My clothes my only possessions, I ponder my predicament. Did I throw my life away, Did life throw me away, Did I lose the life I had, Did my life change on me? What happened to the days past, What happened to my life as it was, My arms lie empty when they once were full of love, Thoughts of happiness are now thoughts of survival. Each day I struggle on, Each night I sleep crying for the life i throw it away, Each breath is like my last, Each dream is a nightmare. I feel I have no face... no shadow.. no substance I am meaningless nothing a faceless entity In which even my shadow ignores I feel I have neither heart nor soul or else i would have poured it out to you... if you had asked.. I feel that the space I take up Is devoid of my existence The solitary tear that I shed Has no cheek upon which to fall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
