The Burning Of Our Hearts


The Burning Of Our Hearts

In an effort to get you to look of what you had left 
into each other’s eyes we see love still remains 
The burning of our hearts still has flames 
Even though years ago someone had taken us apart
Even broken our hearts into over and over again
When my phone rings, I put it to my ear   
without saying a word you already know where my heart 
belonged  In the restaurant I point at coffee
I am adjusting well to the new way I have been 
Late at night, I call my long distance lover yet friend 
talking about why we had once ended  
When he responded telling me he was sorry forever hurting
me like he did he told me he had always loved me 
But his heart was still to young 
I know he used up all his words but my heart hungered for more  
I slowly whisper back I love you 
After that, we just sit on the line talking about what ever came to mind 
We listen to each other breathe out love 
A love we healed within sometime ago 
A love that never burned out

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
