DANCING INTO THE DARK


Dancing Into The Dark 

Preciously waiting in the dark holding my heart 
Waiting to see if the man I am been seeing is true  
To me before I walk away in the pain he gave  , 

Tell me that you needed me at less , 
He just looked at me with no care in his eyes  
Shed for me just a tear to let me know you cared , 

When you whisper in my ear to say he will never leave  
Dance with me in the rain to wash away your fears my dear ,  
Tell me what you see in me to make you hurt me , 

He would say I will never let you go without a fight 
You are my life , Hold me close then ask me for a second dose 
Of a dance in the rain , 

It has been along year dancing in the rain in so much pain 
With a man that dances in the night to take over my life , 
You can not live without my loving touch he would say  
Tell me you would never leave , 

He would tell me you need me like I need air to breathe , 
I cried with hurt in my eyes , 
Darkness and pain is the life you given me , 

Tell me that you are addicted to my touch that you love  
So much ,I cried out with shivers down my spin , 
I looked at him as he takes my hand for the next winters dance , 

Tell me that your heart cant beat without mine he would cry 
That you will always be mine .  your words that don't stop teasing 
My mind I cry to get out of my head , 

You make me wish I was dead , with every touch of your hand , 
Ever dance the rain became my friend ,  
Darkness of your cold heart has taken over my soul let me go .

Poetic Judy Lilly Emery

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
