Collection for Tj...Don't be sad love

Don't be sad love...you knew so well this day would come.

Your love was my safety net, and held me in its thrall.

And I felt secure there in its grasp.

I hoped I was home at last.

Such a bright love was not meant to last.

But I can and will never say our loving was wrong.

It burned a red hot flame, loudly, and left us softly alone.

The love you gave me flows through my veins.

And I am safe love once again.

The net is not you my love, and therefore it can't be gone.

I will not fall.  I cannot fail. 

For you taught me oh so well.

I'll rise and stand, and I'll walk on.

For loving you made me strong.

Reviews

[Mark]

A melancholy counterpoint: "Your love was my safety net", but then, "The net is not you..." , suggesting that it was love itself that permitted you to survive this relationship--I say "survive", because "I rise..." suggests that you have been brought low, if only temporarily, and, "...loving you made me strong", suggests that there was a series of struggles which needed to be conquered.

[Cree Nations]

You are perceptive to my heart which is no small accomplishment.

[poetry lover]

You savor life, it seems, and both give and take of its offerings. You must be a strong woman to maintain your strength through all life's challenges.
