Her heart no longer mourns
For the life she had before
She was just an observer
Watching from a distant shore

==specially== the line
"Watching from a distant shore"

sometimes we try hard to find someone but they dont come in our lives. maybe becoz God knows why?
sometime in the shore of this world. there would be one heart that keep silence amond thousands of noises. that heart is the broken heart. that talk alone to itself...

"watching from a distance shore" reflects alot of deepness..
i often use this type of words in my poem i.e "watching alone on the shore"
and i only can understand the meaning of it..
excellent piece of work...

Quietly sobs when she's alone
Thinking no one else can hear
Family feels her pain daily
Yet they can't erase her fears
^^^
~Wipes tear~ Yes I can hear dear heart, and I know you try so hard to mask the sadness. The eyes may be the window to the soul but .... the voice is the window to the heart.

Longing to see her smile again
Hoping for better days ahead
In their hearts they know
Peace will come when she is dead
^^^
This part makes my heart ache dear friend. For I know you dream of the days when those loving arms will hold you tight once again but darling .... God needs Angels on earth too.

She tells them all is Okay
They know that she pretends
She is trying to protect them
As she waits for life to end
^^^
This ending is both wrote and read through tears, for I know because half of those tears are mine.
Cindy you've penned a write that touches my heart, not only because the words are so very heart wrenching but also because I know they live within your heart.
Much love beautiful lady,
Luanne

Cindy this is all too true as I see it....I know how you feel everyday that passes without John.....hope your poetry and friendships bring you some peace.....

Wow! i love your work. this poem is amazing.

My dear Cindy,
you write with so much pain in your verse, it's not easy to understand what life can inflict on people.

Yet, my dear friend, love always abounds. Stretch out your arms and the whole world will be waiting out there.

"Years have been unkind to her
Leaving a shell in her place
Love snatched away too soon
Haunting sadness on her face"
...
Knowing she belongs by his side
As they listen to her pray"
..
^^so beautifully you hv described the emotions you are goin through...

"She tells them all is Okay
They know that she pretends
She is trying to protect them
As she waits for life to end"

^ very hearfelt...

wish life gives you more reason to smile...

Wow, excellent write with so much imagery and feeling within. Your choice of words was simple yet had a deep impact against the reader. The flow was flawless in my opinion as well as the structure. Overall a nice write, however; I felt it could of been a lot stronger with puncuation throughout. Keep up the great writes.

Peace, Joe

Such a piece of sorrow. The flow was good and this one will definetly tug at ones heartstrings. It makes me wanna cry :(

Hey cynthia I just want whoever you are to know that your work is truly incredible and never give up. to prove it, you can be the first to read my latest poem that i just finished after reading yours:

4/16/08 Just Tell Me It'll Be OK

As this violent storm rages in my head
I ponder the words
I've yet to have said

Thrashing twister devours the sky
Until your presence
Brings me into the storms eye

A temporary peace to encompass my soul
Before time's perpetual progress
Yields its role.

This piece really touched me 5/5 another amazing piece, Cindy

xD Happy Thoughts xD
As Always,

This is great i loved it keep writing 5/5

I think that this poem was very well written and thought about. Give it full marks. The detail is rich and wipe the smile off my face. But I still loved it. :D

Her heart no longer mourns
For the life she had before
She was just an observer
Watching from a distant shore

True 'emotions recollected in tranquility'. It is poetry of the highest order the perfectly portays the sad state of your. Shelley has rightly said:
"Our sweetest songs are those that tell of the saddest thought."
