Love a river, bridge your arms,
reaching out to pull me within.
Fall deeper, deeper each day,
I surrender, you finally win.
Our days of wine and roses,
capture my heart so complete.
Our future seems so enticing,
a love of passion and sweet.
River of love may run smooth,
suddenly a whirlpool appears.
It takes away the sweetness,
left behind bittersweet tears.
Arms that once held me tight,
now burning bridge to memory.
No longer reaching to hold me,
drowning in pain and misery.
Smoke and haze keep rising,
shadows lurk, what use to be.
Flames turn swiftly to embers.
still love will not set me free.

I like how the flow seems to quiet and peaceful like a small brook and then when you mention the whirlpool, it's like there's suddenly a waterfall.
Arms that once held me tight,
now burning bridge to memory.
No longer reaching to hold me,
drowning in pain and misery.
Smoke and haze keep rising,
shadows lurk, what use to be.
Flames turn swiftly to embers.
still love will not set me free.

Well Sandy, it always seems the hardest when you miss that someone special so much. I feel for you, knowing what pain that must be. You give yourself to someone and they leave and all you have left is the feeling. Sweet and sad.

Thank You Ed
You always seem to know exactly what my words mean and where they come from. Hopefully time heals all broken hearts. At least I am hoping it does. Bless You.
Take care, Sandy
