ONE LONELY DARK NIGHT


One Lonely Dark Night 

The old gray village lay in the landscape of pain; 
It was a cold night in our home 
Once our home felt what Love was all about
but that had been some time ago.
I had to ask myself over and over as the years past, 
How do you walk away from someone you love? 
There he is standing by the door in silence 
it was a cold dark night my love had taken flight, 
OH, HOW THAT MADE ME CRY; 
I watched as his love made its way out the door, 
the spell that invented no words; 
I don't really know what made my heart run so cold 
but that one cold night his love was getting old, 
The light of his love turned cold like the black in the night, 
inside my broken heart, 
tell me to never look back on what was good 
never look back on the life we had 
We once had so much love to give
But time moved so fast in our life 
Love started to slip away....
We have shared so much together, 
We Laughter...had so much fun, we had our tears; 
when love had gone like the summers sun
all that we had is now all dead and gone 
my heart is on the run....
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal from the pain, 
I know one day you will be happy 
and one day so will I 
O careless love '', I hear my ill spirit 
Sob into the winter sky's
each blood cell weep day and night 
my heart were at my throat... 
my soul cry's out for this old pain to end
it hurts like Hell deep within.

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
