A Talisman I Wear Around My Heart

I met you
And had you
For a time

And I still want
More of you
But...
I can't have you now

So I'll just keep
A piece of you
That is left with me

Deep inside me
In a secret place
Where you
will always stay

A talisman
I wear around my heart

Wonderful sentiment, Summerain. What was that line in V is for Vendetta by Valerie?

"It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish."

It's nice when we realize we had roses vs being resentful we have them no more. It enables us to enjoy the future without being bitter or resentful of those who do.

Thank you so much Ahavati for your beautiful input and insight on this piece. Yes we should be glad for what we have than be sad for what we cannot have.
