To Love and Hold Close

One can only take so much
Then she's done.
Day in, day out, tired of the rerun

I praised myself for only loving you
Almost 20 years spent
Every morning, every evening, loving your scent.

I never got tired of holding you
I longed for your kiss
Making love to you was always pure bliss

I don't know where things went wrong
But one day I turned you off like a light
Your voice turned hateful and so full of spite

Now the bed where we sleep is so cold 
Not a single lingering touch
Back to back we sleep and my pillow I clutch

Nico is a gift from God 
That you and I made
Not a pawn to be played!

This is not a competition
To see who he loves most
He is both of ours to love and hold close!

A very terrible thing when

A very terrible thing when the sins of the mothers and he fathers justify themselves to kin... Prayers for you all my dear, and a very strong poem, love moves in cycles grow apart to draw together again, there is one connection both of you will never lose, I hope it gets better soon! HugSS


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS    

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

It is a terrible thing

When a husband/father fights for the attention of his child and always makes it a competition and a tug of war between the 3 of us! Always putting one against 2. :(
