'My heart once beating strong; now has slowed. <br />Just slow enough to endure this life, <br />not still enough to reach up my hand, into the clouds... <br />out of tortured times. <br /> <br />Just whispering your name shatters my panes, <br />the windows of my soul have started to break, <br />my heart is yours but will you heal it... <br />do we have the time only heaven knows? <br /> <br />I feel your pain and it's overwhelming and unsure, <br />it's so hard not knowing whether things will be all right <br />many factors come into play... <br />not just for your life but for mine too. <br /> <br />I know the pain that swallows us whole, <br />this chance I'm willing to take is not for show, <br />please answer my heart no matter what’s in store. <br />For 'My love, I can't seem to live as half... <br />when once you made me whole.'<br /><br />Shelley L Baxter Stanley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/only-heaven-knows-2/
