NOTE TO ME RE: THINGS SHE TOOK FROM ME:
My compassion-------My time-----My energy
The reason I woke up early just to be with her more hours
The belief that a song of honesty and purity can be sung in the union of two souls but only when both partners sing in pitch-perfect harmony
She took my mind
The equations in my mind
The way she was always on my mind
She took my knowledge and used it until she needed a teacher no more

She took the soulfulness of every sweet word in a love song and turned them sour
She took away the way she’d laugh when I’d do or say something funny
She took the joyfulness out of a simple smile and the happiness from the fact that we’d finally found each other after so long a journey
She took away the mustard seed of faith I had that Jesus proclaimed is all we need
a tiny seed indeed--------

BUT ALL THESE THINGS ARE GONE FOR GOOD,
YESTERDAY’S NEWS
ABOUT SINGING THE BLUES
SHE TOOK AWAY THE PRIDE I FELT WHEN I TAUGHT HER TO SADDLE A HORSE
AND NOW THAT HORSE HAS BEEN NAMED “REMORSE”
BUT THE ONE THING SHE GAVE ME AND THEN TOOK AWAY WAS SOMETHING I HADN’T HAD FOR THE PAST ¾ of MY LIFE
AND SUDDENLY THAT TREASURE WAS SNATCHED AWAY FROM ME
SHE RESURRECTED THE WAYS AND MEANS FOR ME TO LAUGH, AND TO LAUGH WITH A HEART LIGHTENED BY THE WAY SHE SWORE WE WOULD BE TOGETHER AS LONG AS TIME AND HEALTH PERMITTED………..
AND LASTLY WHAT SHE TOOK AWAY WAS THAT WHICH I HADN’T EVER FELT BEFORE
BECAUSE SHE ROBBED FROM THIS MAN , WHO, AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF INADEQUACY WAS NO LONGER A HINDERANCE BECAUSE SHE WAS HIS MOTIVATION
SOMEONE TO HUDDLE TOGETHER DURING THUNDER
THAT’S WHAT SHE TOOK AWAY FROM ME,
A WOMAN WALKED AWAY WITH WONDER
That’s what she took from me….© 2011...Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
