She opened her mouth and her heart came pouring out now what?! she said things she's kept bottled up inside for so long and with the words came the tears shameful tears needing desperately ~to talk~ and enjoying it~ but feeling as though she's betrayed him guilt wars with need the need of an attentive ear guilt that it wasn't his even though she's tried to get him to listen to hear to understand it makes her angry to keep quiet to keep stuffing it inside it makes her sad he is the one she wants to talk to but she's tried and tried and tried how many times can you talk to someone open your heart to have it fall flat stay the same never change... she feels the doors slaming shut somewhere inside looks like guilt is winning......... ~SEA~ |

SEA...when was the last time you attended a baseball game? Nothing like being part of all that humanity, and hope, and expectation....all of that life ..... to clear the mind and heart. Winning? You've already won. Didn't you know? Thanks for sharing yourself with us. Smile. Bob |

Oh wow. I know these thoughts. I've tried to learn however, not to be so hard on myself. It's a process of learning, afterall. The best I can hope for is to do a little better each day.  Hugs, Sea! |

Sometimes all you can do is keep talking SEA. And I agree with Serenity, don't be hard on yourself, there's no reason for you to feel guilt. Keep on writing, and talking to whoever you want to. |

Dear SEA, Lack of communication is the single greatest loss a couple can have. It happens when one, or both, of us gets too comfortable in the relationship and we get lazy. We forget the hugs, kisses, conversation, and the need to please. That is, we do if we don't watch out for it. Off my soapbox now You may have inspired something here for me to write about, If I may have your permission.Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

guilt can be productive when it opens our eyes to the reasons of why we are doing things that later make us feel guilty... then we can try and fix the problem... hopefully before we find ourselves repeating the pattern of action-guilt reaction... or even worse.... eventually we stop feeling guilty...... moth advice baby...aint worth much  hugs Sea-girlie...Im here if ya need to talk Let It Rain Kristen Hall I have given, I have given And got none Still I'm driven by something I can't explain It's not a cross, it is a choice I cannot help but hear his voice I only wish that I could listen without shame Let it rain Let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me I have been a witness to the perfect crime I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame It isn't worth the tears you cry to have a perfect alibi Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game It isn't easy to be kind With all these demons in my mind I only hope one day I'll be free I do my best not to complain My face is dirty from the strain I only hope one day I'll come clean Come take my hand We can walk to the light And without fear We can see through the darkest night Let it rain Let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me Though my soul may sit in darkness, |

how many times can you talk to someone open your heart to have it fall flat stay the same never change... These words say that whatever guilt exists should be shared... talking to a wall just makes your throat dry. *S* Powerful poem, SEA... well done! |

Though such storms may rage, they can't endure. I think all storms have pigment, this one makes blood red and the SEA blue. Ride it out, you'll see. It's worth it. "The rose, like the cactus flower, protects herself with thorns. We however, impale ourselves on their beauty." |
