Old Loves Embrace


Old Loves Embrace

Oh love, you have once open your arms to me 
you had welcomed me into love embrace 
But with time it all came down like rain 
deep pains cut way to deep 
what was became not enough 
love had slipped through the fingers of time
what was left of us only became memories
darkness open the doors to sadness 
that brings on so much madness
I never looked back 
to see if love was still staring at me
because this pain cut too deep for me
I didn't watch where my own feet walked
because it was way to dark 
I feel the days that lay ahead of me 
I so very much dread to see
If I only kept the Key 
To what was once for me 
Love had once was in my arms 
that had welcomed me home 
that welcomed me in peace and safety 
But with time Love started acting strange 
words of hast that made the heart break 
that shattered or loving home
at time I had to scoffed with my heart 
while my mind telling me 
what once was 
is no longer with me 
so I must set it free
I remained there in that patch of light 
before old love cast his spell on me
and all I can see is darkness always at my feet
putting fear in my mind most of the time
given me a world of broken dreams 
Yes, I once known love 
but then it all was a game of yesterdays
Now old love gave me his cold embrace of darkness
a place that holds no warmth or Love 
but give agony and lots of rain.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 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
