interesting...haunting...I fully expected the word 'altar' in your first line, and I do not wish to question it...reading 'alter' there is far more interesting

well ... this post is rather personal.. and though some people feel that if a piece is "too" personal... then it's not good for public reading.. i disagree.. reason being, i like seeing the feedback. people usually see my work in a completely different way than i intended (for myself) and to me, that's what it's all about.

now... altar vs alter...

alter
1 : to make different without changing into something else
2 : CASTRATE, SPAY
intransitive senses
: to become different

..... this piece is about a relationship that ended and my letting go of it ... hopefully without losing myself, without changing who i am.

making my life over.. without changing

hopefully it's still an interesting read after all this ramble.

thank you both so much for the comments.

hard times , bring new smiles down the road
you will notice where you were misled by the masking of anothers life ... you have so much pure talent ..and if this person did not notice what you have , then it is a thing that has to be , like a teardrop down my cheek in the midnight rain ...
