Just a friend am I

Reminded again I've been reminded
Alone I am and destined to be alone!
Blinded by beauty; a love so blinded
Grown have I by my aching heartache groan?

Friend faithful to the end only a friend
Heart to have heart to hold inside my heart
Tend to your care but to me do not tend
Start some passion, no never try to start

Despair dispels hope beyond my despair
Touch my body, no, my soul do not touch
Care I, yes, and perhaps too much to care
Such is my lot; I live and love as such

Atone I for some sin, I must atone?
Alone I am and destined to be alone?

    This is so sad and beautifully penned perfectly in the Shadow. There is hope because God in His time will send the one He has chosen for you. Bravo on the Shadow sonnet.

    Love,
    Amera♥

    You are an extra special person in God's eyes...Some of those extra special people to His heart, have extra special crosses to carry, but I do not doubt as He says" He gives you the desires of your heart"..The waiting is the cross too..A beauty out of that pain and brokenness comes forth in this write..You are extra special to we that know you, and how much more to God...Maybe the best one for you has not come yet! As Toni, in hurriedness some of us have not waited and regretted it...Take heart, friend...A beautiful write!

    Just Remember...

    God's delays are not always God's denials...You are a very talented writer with a heart for God..one that does not have room for compromise, so therefore God is sending his best to you and if you hold on to your faith knowing that everything is in his time, the reward will be sweet. For he will send you the desires of your heart..one to love you and care for you the way you deserve not second to anyone except God himself!!! I could feel your pain from rejection and the loneliness you have, for I too know this pain...But have enough wisdom to know that the wrong person makes you far more miserable than actually being alone does!!!! I will pray for God to send you the love he created just for YOU!!!! Another great piece of poetry and very well written!!!~~~Toni~~~

    Don't dispair sweet friend, one rejection doesn't doom you to a lifetime of being alone. I know it is a very lonely feeling, but you never know what tomorrow may bring. I will keep you in my prayers.
    blessings and love,
    Michelle
