But Yet...

By: Sharon Darlene Barker

Loneliness is something you can have even when others
are around you... You talk... You laugh... You make all the
day to day moves... But yet...

When you lay your head down at night... the tears come...
The emptiness... Your heart heavy with the wanting of
the love of another... But yet...

Memories remind you of the pain loving someone can
bring... How you lived for their happiness... The trust you
gave was only a joke to them... But yet...

Many times you had your chance... Someone else offered
the attention you so desperately wanted... Remembering
your vows... your love... you couldn't... But yet...

The same vows and the same love were spoken from
their lips... The vows did not mean the same to them as they
did to you... Just lies and hurt words... But yet...

You still tried so hard to make it work... Broken vows...
Broken dreams... Broken hearts... These burdens can break
your spirit... Then you are no longer... But yet...

Don't let these memories keep you from finding true love...
Because just when you think there will never be a
love like you have dreamed of... It will come along... But yet...

Very rare is such a love... Because very rare is such a man...
But Yet... I found him...!!!
