Watch what you wish for

by Rachel RTVW   Jul 28, 2010


Be careful what you wish for
words spoken out of anger
may become a reality

Left with only memories
of those words that now
cut your heart with an
unimaginable force

So strong.... you literally
choke on tears
and nothing can stop
the feeling of hopelessness.....
regret, utter sorrow

As a thousand trilling birds
sing their song of spring
once again I remember
walking with you...safe
snuggled under your arms

Thought I had forever
to make up my mind
foolish to think you'd keep waiting
but you did
and I was too late

No one to run to
now standing solitary
whispering unanswered thoughts
to the sky........ the ground where you lay

My beloved.......
how I long for the stories of heaven to be true
so one day I may hold your hand again
I miss you my love.....my soul mate
Rest in peace

~Dedicated to the father of my 2 beautiful children Bryant Eddie Ortiz who was heartlessly murdered on September 21st, 2009~

    And years later, it has not gotten any easier.Though I have moved on and have a new life, new love.......Noone can replace my soulmate. I still cry for him......I pray that heaven exists so I can look into his eyes once again.......MY LOVE I MISS YOU!!!!!

    What sorrowful truth you have written here, I am so sorry for your loss of the one you dearly love and the father of two beautiful children. He is at peace now and may God comfort your soul in any grieving you go through. I could not even imagine this.

    This piece touched my soul and was a deserving dedication to a man you would probably give your life too, I am sure it is not even close to getting easier, but I will pray, that is what we can do.

    Anyway, a beautiful woven poem from your heart, well worthy of the win.

    God bless you dear.
