The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

i was dreaming, i think.

sometimes it's hard to tell these days.

if triumphant there it only serves

to make me feel more helpless here.

somedays it just seems like

you can't have it all

can't change the world.

there is no better of these two evils.

i hear their voices in my mind.

the ones who fall

the ones who try

i fold their struggles into mine.

sometimes it all just turns and spins

blurs the lines

moves too fast for such idle contemplations.

time has not flown so much as escaped me.

and i wonder if i'm the only one...

left standing moving slow.

the test of a life is not what you can remember

but all those things that one forgets.

we fill our lives to surplus with surface noise.

it helps to drown out the voices.

i listened to them once,

and i hear them still.

that will that has broken was not my own.

not by my hand.

the only certainty in a world uncertain.

when those hands that are supposed to uplift fall away

and we stumble, and we stagger.

through other such worthless endeavors

as walking

who among you remembers?

that girl, that child i used to be?

she wasn't gone nor forgotten so much as pushed away.

her hands were small and paled by comparison.

sometimes i still see with her eyes.

speak through her voice.

it isn't always age that garners wisdom.

and i tell them it's ok

it will be alright, i remember.

...but who will remember me?

i thought we had something special you and i

you look me in the eyes and say i love you

but when you walk away i cry

we never talk or really see each other

when we do it's i love you, goodbye

i wonder if this love is real and right

why must we always fight when i ask how you feel

is it for real

i guess i will let you go and bother you nomore

if you should happen to return then i'll know

you really care even when feelings seem never there

Interesting will be to know the person that the above poem was written. When a woman love a man and if the love is not received the same way, then, there will be no future. love is a two way street.
