on lonely nights i'm awakened
by the sound of one hand clapping
and i think of you.
i remember messages
cryptically coded,
from you:

"a broken heart that the world forgot."

and somehow, i knew
you'd fought through the night--
again
you hadn't slept, the violent tears
had left your tiny frame trembling...
and you needed me.

Gone, now,
no more notes
you don't need me for your time's run out
now,
you can
Sleep.

This was(is)very nice,..I'm sure she knows.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

This is well written as always. This piece really touched my heart. I love the quote from Concrete Angel, it fits perfectly. Fortunately enough I cannot say I have experienced loosing a friend personally, my sympathy goes out to those who have. I know those suffering from a recent loss will appreciate this piece. Yhanks for sharing. I luv ya girlie and am always here for you.

This is beautiful.

I'm sure she can hear you, and I know she is in a better place than the one she left. Thank you for sharing, darklinglady. This was tender, sad and beautiful.

Just like her.

you have left me speechless....... you are very talented and each piece that I read shows me how talented you really are.

Rico

The last few lines-now,
you can
Sleep.
-just seem slightly comforting -at last, Stella's free from the illness (that I don't know much about) that affected her, at last, she is peaceful, hopefully.

No, I won't forget a broken heart that the world might forget.

Wonderful tribute, darklinglady-because this has been written well and more because this is a tribute to your friendship-I think that friends die, friendship lives.

you have inspired me with your words and thought. I loved the emotion you put into this piece. You truely are very gifted. As for Stella, having not known her other than her posts I cant say that I share in your pain but my heart goes out to you for your loss.

~and things are forever altered~

and somehow, i knew
you'd fought through the night--
again
you hadn't slept, the violent tears
had left your tiny frame trembling...
and you needed me.

I think those lines are the ones that really bring the thoughts rushing in...it hurts, but it hurts because of all the good things, not the all the bad nights...it hurts because I miss being able to comfort her.

*Sigh* I'll stop rambling in your post now. Thank you, 'tis beautiful.
