How do I heal myself?
Will letting go poison me
or bleed the wound
of the gangrene flesh?

Cauterize me.
I want to be burned closed
and branded
with your white hot indifference.

You left me behind,
and I can't write somwthing
cold enough
for you to understand
how much I hate
love.

I'm in a fevered state
of broken promises
and mirages of who you were.
I wil never be 98.6 again.


"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Angela, first, good to see you again, sweetheart, this is powerful.  My, this is powerful. Unlike anything I think I've read from you.  It feels ...well, it just feels!

YES..MORE PLEASE! My geesh..when you write you REALLY do it, BEE! More power from you. I think you need this, and I think we need the benefits of your work.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.
