In order to understand I must first tell you that I am 28 and have loved many, but have yet to feel truely loved by anyone.


Lord send me someone to hold me tight
To wipe my tears and kiss me goodnight

I need someone to love me truely
To care for me wholey and fully

All my life I've searched so hard
Always hurting cause I let down my guard

No one knows all my pain
Nor how much I have to gain

I've tried to hold my life together
And now another "him" I must sever

Lord, I'm not strong enough for this one
Sanity fast enough can not come

It's like I'm holding onto something false
To keep from feeling total loss

Am I not worthy of true love?
Isn't someone watching from above?

------

Somehow I'm surviving from day to day
Though important things never go my way

Lord, when will it be my time to play
For those sweet words "I do" I want to say

It's April now and soon will be May
Won't you please send me a lasting sun ray

Such dreams I hold inside
But someone to share them I can't find

Why does he have me so enchanted?
Or is my heart completely slanted?

A house in the country. A dog in the yard.
Kids on the porch swing. It shouldn't be hard.

A cool breeze blows while all fishing at the pond
Those are the things for which I am fond

Lord don't I deserve to be truely happy?
Or is the idea ultimetly daffy?

A winding road to a quite little home
A relaxing life where sunlight shone

Take me home
I have no home

No home with love and laughter
No home to come back to faster
My life is such a complete disaster

Sure, some say I have a lot
But the truth is that they really know not

All I want is love devine
If he'd just leave that bottle behind
Drunk on love and we'd be fine
RELUCTANT TO SHARE? Why? This was truly beautiful. Although I feel your pain in your words and can relate to EVERY EVERY word, I think you have a talent you clearly aren't aware of ..... YOU CAN CERTAINLY WRITE POETRY! Keep sharing! Sometimes, it helps to see that there are others going through the SAME emotional rollercoasters! I'm not saying I'm *happy* you are going through the same (of course, I'm NOT), but it brings home some sanity to me to know that I'm *NOT* the *ONLY ONE* who sometimes just cannot deal/handle the pain or addiction of *love* .... or lack thereof!

Now, having bitched! I'll end on a happy note!

I wish I knew how to post a picture(s) because I received some happy news (what a blessing!) Although I think my life has been tough, my sister has been trying to conceive for YEARS. Without making this a LONG story; she and her husband are currently in Russia and will FINALLY be adopting two beautiful BOYS! She sent me photos and video clips; of which I just received this morning ...... I fell apart seeing her (my beautiful sister) in such a happy happy GLOW! I just hope and pray (and could use everyone else's prayers as well) that all goes well. They will have to return to the U.S. without the boys (some legal paperwork crap!) and return to Russia when all the mumbo-jumbo is legit! I don't get it .... but I can only hope that this ends up on a happy note and two little boys are blessed with two people who are going to make INCREDIBLE PARENTS!

Thanks for letting me share!

Much love to ALL,
Maria
