God, I wish I could go back
to being what I was.
Cutting no one any slack
and hurting them, "Because."
I want to carve out this heart
and toss it to the dogs.
Peel this pain back to the start
and go to sawing logs.
Nothing is worse than sorrow,
except perhaps disdain.
I'll be myself tomorrow,
tonight I'll feel the pain.

You can't go back...what was there is now gone....you can only go forward and met each new challenge knowing how much stronger you've gotten.I'll be right behind you....always!

Love,

No, definitely don't toss out that wonderful heart. And never go back, its in the past, leave it there. An emotional piece, Dream, and very well done.

You CAN'T toss your heart! That is where these beautiful words come from! Besides, that heart of yours is a gift from the Angels!

I feel this way often dream, it is hard to feel everyones pain as well as your own. I guess that's what happens when one cares too much...but considering the alternative, I'll stick to this one!!
