OH THE PAINS I HOLD WITHIN


The Pains I Hold Within

I lay in my bed and think about you 
I love you so much I don't know what to do 
I feel your warmth at my side but then I  
Have to say it is all lies , 
The pain in my heart moves to my eyes 
And the rain came down so hard it had  
Gone on for days , 
I don't know why I let you get me this away 
Your so far away how did I get this away , 
Your words one the phone just got my heart 
Thinking love had found me , 
But with time my heart just couldn't take no more 
You would tell me you love me and you would  
Say the words my lonely heart needed to hear  
But my heart needed much more , 
I needed someone to hold and wipe away my  
Fears and tears , 
I await the times when we can talk but then I  
Think why we only talk for five minutes in the  
Morning and five at night then it was goodbyes 
All I had left when we hanged up was tears in my 
Eyes and lonely nights , 
Hanging on to hopes,and wishes ,and dreams of  
A could be if I do everything you ask me to , 
I await the times we can finally hold hands and walk 
To feel you for real... so close to me with a kiss, 
I await the time when my hand is in yours 
To hear you say those 3 little words. 
There are still no words I can say to describe 
My heart it aches and my eyes they cry 
That's when I had to say no more this love  
On line is not the way I want love to be  
So I had to set you free I need to breath .

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
