Truth in this and sadness...such a mad scramble for love which then isn't really love...

Excellent, Retta.

That was...amazing. It is often a sad and frightful world...too full of people and their emotional greed. This described them and their actions all too well. I hope that much better things will come your your way in the future...for with every night there has to be one more morning. All good things to you.

Retta, this is outstanding. The image of greedy one grabbing what they can yet leaving behind the important ones like truth, loyalty, honesty was magnificent and so true of todays shallow "my needs are all that's important" attitude toward real love.

Well done, Retta.

Reaching the end of my path,
I teeter on the edge of tomorrow-
Wanting to taste sweet victory,
Wanting to fly into the unknown�

Little faces haunting me,
Warning me not to leave them behind�
Echoes of sadness so deep inside,
Why does he make me
Want to hide�

I thought love was kind,
I thought love was good,
Then why do I feel so bad
All the time?

Powerful from beginning to end!!!

Well written piece, some excellent verses...especially--
"Suddenly it shatters,
And the sweet candy falls to the ground,
And the greedy ones so eager
To fill their hearts
Scatter like wild fools,
Grabbing anything they can�"
