The way I feel
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,

No-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind my smile,
No-one knows how many times,
I have broken down and cried,

I want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.

From Melissa L Eshleman’


My Life had stood — a Loaded Gun -
In Corners — till a Day
The Owner passed — identified -
And carried Me away –

Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without - the power to die -
