A handsome visage flits across her mind
A familiar face so loving and kind
Tho' ne'er seen before, she's not wrong
This image in her mind just seems to belong
The softness in his eyes as they turn her way
Smiling at her fondly every day
Their eyes lock in warm embrace
She feasts on each detail of that loving face
Her heart has longed for someone to come
And say to her, "You are my only one"
Her pretty phrases are all lost
In her need to be his at any cost
As his strong arms surround her
She knows she should demure
But the scent wafting to her nostrils
Sends to her spine, tingling chills
A shared dream, a hope, a lingering fear
Forces them to grasp what is now, and here
Lest this fond and fleeting moment
Be ripped from view midst tears and torment
Lovers rejoice, but also take heed
Enjoy love's sweet bliss
And savour each tender kiss
‘Cus tomorrow you'll hurt - it's the lovers' creed
Stoney, April 13, 1997
Rejection can be devastating for many of us, but some
sensitive souls just fail to recognize that this is simply
another part of life's curves thrown at us from time-to-time.
When I was on the ships, I observed the devastating
effects of what a 'broken heart' can do. When you're
young you think that the pain will never end, because it
can take months to get yourself back on an even keel.
I remember suffering through a couple of particularly bad
ones myself. My lubricant of choice was whiskey; it kept
the pain down during the interminable lonely nights.
Not the best solution, but better than some I've seen.
There were three acquaintances back then who couldn't
take the pain anymore and took the ultimate
step. They wrote themselves off.
Such a waste of a human being...
