Just a little ditty... 

Written on a lonely Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was

Standing before this world you see
Just knowing that there was a place for me

I  was

Reaching for a hand to hold
Trying desparately to fit this mold

I was

Reckless in the love I gave
Never once asking to be saved


I was

Lonely beyond compare
Helpless beyond repair

I was

Asking but not speaking
Wanting but not reaching

I was

Stronger then I  knew
Smarter as I grew

in their floating, they can often escape.
i'm glad you captured them, instead.

Very nice thoughts honey, you titled it "I was", does that mean that you aren't anymore and that you've found what you are looking for? Even if he is that jerk that couldn't be there and made your Saturday night a "lonely Saturday Night"?
Terry D Jul 6, 2008, 4:36pm EDT
Thanks again Jeanie :)

Bob..
Yes, I guess "I was", as in before.

Stronger then I knew
Smarter as I grew

See? all better now. lol

feeling lonely, and wanting someone to share your thoughts, and your warmth...It does take a while for it to disappear...

Nice--- Terry
