Sometimes heartaches are too big
And won’t fit on the roads
Leading from here to someplace
Just west of midnight where the drinks
Or the company or someone else
Will drive them away
For an hour or two

When that happens
Seems like the days are long
And the nights filled with
Star dust that scratches
Corneas until we are blind
In certain light
Invisible in other

I don’t mind that it hurts
And I don’t mind being blinded
It’s the invisible that kills me

So… here we are
Humans all
facing the same emotional cracks
the same grainy abrasions from our
rubbing up against others
and always finding a reason to leave
on one side or the next…

all with scars showing
our red badges displayed proudly
or meekly
or sadly
for all to see in their passing

Come to think of it…
Maybe Invisible isn’t so bad
After all….

Your words
invisible as you might want them
are light
to the rest of us...

keep spilling...

(big hugggsssss) Oh Ron, this is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, I too would prefer to be invisible in these kind of cases too I suppose so then others wouldn't have to see the fatal scars! (sad sigh) This is powerfully moving, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Well, something to ponder, for sure.

Liked the star dust line.


Thanks for sharing your talent.
Always something to learn from it.

What a great verse Cpat~
invisible can be taken all kinds of ways!

We weave our own cloth, both the
underside and outer layers....  

It's a defense mechanism that helps
to protect our vulnerabilities and
shield our insecurities.

We see what we want to see anywhoo!

Have a good weekend!  Huggers~

Intense.
Yes we all face the same emotional cracks, sooner or later ...
You kept my attention.
