Hear Me Calling



         Do you hear me calling you

            Calling from afar,

         Can't you see me falling

           Falling like a star.



     I would walk the desert sands for you

          Or climb the highest tree,

         I would do all that and more

         If only you would be with me.



           If only you would ask

          I know I would say yes.

           I truly do believe

        Together we could be the best.



         I would grow wings and fly

         To make with you my home,

          But this you do not ask

          And so I write my poem.



        All my love is gathered up

         And written with a pen,

      Words straight from my heart,

        Eternal, not of mortal men.



            But you, ever silent,

      You're thoughts are never shared,

           I have to question if;

           For me, you ever cared.







            You loved so much once

         With all your heart and soul,

          But the hurt she gave you

          Has finally taken it's toll.



           Through your pain

       You've turned to stone.

         Love is, for you

        Now meaningless monotone.



             You no longer have

           The capacity to feel,

           Still raw the burning;

       Numbed, the ability to heal.



           I cannot break the barriers

          The walls are built so strong

           Too great the distance,

             Too sad my song.



       My love for you is steadfast,

            Steady and so true,

        But I need you to talk to me

      Let me know if it's the same for you.



       Can't you hear me calling

         Calling you by name?

        Don't you even see me falling

             Or is this just a game?

Hihi, Tanya,.... Welcome back. HOw coincidental, i jus came back from the Message Board and posted a reply to your slot. Smilesz. This is a most frank piece..filled with tearing questions on a relationship's basis , cause and foundations. It is indeed difficult to break thru one's barriers, more so if he/she erected these walls in times of pain and anguish = they stand harder and tougher. Do read my Snuffed In A Bottle. Quite in the same vein as this. I enjoyed reading this, Tanya Thanxs, for sharing.~! on..to the next. Smilesz.
