who are you to imply
that because I don't write of my pain--
I don't hurt.

I ache so much from this despair
my words are not there
I'm mute in the grief
of what I lost
and the worst part is
that it was not mine to have
in the first place I have no place
I can not cry--so how can I write
if I write--I will cry
if I cry--I don't think I will stop
how could you do this to me
then expect me to write
of my grief, hurt, anger, pain
for all to see
especially you

who are you to imply
that because I don't write of my pain--
I don't hurt

Written from a raw soul, M'Lady, yet exquisite.You wrote it well in the end, even if flowing saline solace to sting a recent wound. Wonderful job,
Evan

ah sandra, thank you for your kind words. I can not begin to say the inferno that was sparked when two poet minds danced together in the flames of words.  And the pain and despair when the fire was lost. I can still hardly write, right now I am posting recent/old words of mine.  I hoping my words will come back to me.  This was one of five that I wrote in an hour that day when he dared to tell me that he was writing out his pain and that because I couldn’t; this made us different.  *sigh*  The only way he will see these words is if he comes here, we post on another BB site, he was briefly here while our site was down, but he hasn’t posted here since its been back up.  But, I think I have found a second home here.  Looks like I’ll be posting in this forum, The Corner Pub, and CA. . .and I’m wandering around in this reply.

evan, thank you for your acknowledgement of my words.
