The Cutting Room Floor

Hush, be still...don't slam the door!
Dreams lie dying on the cutting room floor,
Sacrificed for those we love,
Vowed e'er we left our Home Above.

Eons ago, we were split apart,
Leaving gaping holes in our heart,
We knew that we would meet again,
Just didn't know how or when.

Late in life, I came to you,
But you had other things to do,
You mirrored me, and I knew,
I could not lie...I did, too.

Yours, and mine, family,
Was the main priority,
But our love, though from afar,
Became our beacon, our guiding Star,
Our passion grew, connection strong,
Together, we knew, we belonged.

The world kept trying to pull us apart,
And I lay weeping with aching heart,
While you stood your ground, so tall and brave,
Reminding me of what must be saved.

Hush, don't cry...I've closed the door,
Picked up the dreams, for another day,
I'll hold you now, brush the tears away,
It wasn't time...I thought you knew,
But when it is, I'll come for you,
For I promise, our Love is true.

After The Storm

She lays her head upon his chest,
Hearts now picked up from the floor,
Bitter words forgotten, they now rest,
Mirrors hung upon the door.

The storm blew down the house of cards,
Lightning struck with mighty flash,
Burned all pretenses to ash,
Truth was told, though it was hard.

Through her tears, she felt his embrace,
He reached up and touched her face,
In surrender, acceptance at last,
She knew this fight was in the past.

All forgotten, tenderly,
He said no need for apology,
They know their Love will never end,
And they will always be more than friends.

House of Cards

The house of cards comes crashing down,
Shattered hearts lie on the floor,
My happy smile becomes a frown,
Broken mirrors on the door.

Ego won with words of stone,
Flung like arrows at my heart,
Truth now tearing us apart,
Condemning me to be alone.

Once again, I curse the sky,
Screaming, God, Oh, Why oh why?
After all that we've been through,
Again he runs, and leaves me blue.

Tells me what I don't want to hear,
States again my greatest fear,
Says that he will NEVER leave,
And I'm a fool, or else naive!

I believed in our LOVE,
Felt the bonding from Above,
Now again, promises broken,
And I wonder...
God!  Were you just joking?
