Another sad yet deep and emotional piece from you.

"You tell me things that I yearn and long to always hear
but actions do speak louder and so do my tears
you leave me in the dark, so many secrets creeping behind my back
but you fail to tell me any truth so I hold onto that"

the words you speak are so full of sorrow and pain. As you said loving words mean nothing if ones actions do not say the same things.

"but yet again my strength disappears and my bags drop to the floor
I know I can't keep living like this with you anymore
but yet you have this hold on me
and its so hard to break free "

I know and understand this "hold" you talk about, not to long ago i was captivated in the same way. I guess that is why this piece has touched me so strongly.. This poems is an absolutely wonderful expression of your feelings. I think once you break that hold you will be free to be whom ever you wish to be. Take care and all the best.. a fantastic picture you have penned here Cathy.
