~*~ It's down to the wire, can you cope, like I'm trying so hard to? Do you remember the reasons why we are here? After changing direction at every turn poking holes in my heart with pointed fingers. It's just a matter of time before I break down slipping through stitches, sewn together so many silken threads, worn and bare. By your assuming behavior that you continue to rework to your advantage. Do you think you can string me along indefinitely? I don't want to take you to the cleaners I'm not that spiteful, but I won't be intimidated to the point of unraveling. I'll pay for it if I have to but I won't come back to pick up the pieces or hang around in your closet like a tailor made skeleton. Or be the suitor of your guilt courting the blame that leaves a permanent stain I won't~ ~*~ |

Bluesy, this speaks of strength and determination expressed as only you can do. Good luck - or rather, make your own luck. Take care! Helen |

And through the pain that cries in this piece, I feel your strength as well. I know this in so many ways. It applies not only to male/female relationships, but in the struggles of life...pain and strength of thought to overcome. Excellent write! Patricia |

Dear Bluesy One, you have such a unique, creative and highly effective way of expressing emotional pain, i.e. "poking holes in my heart with pointed fingers". I really feel your writes. ~ Stay strong, live long! Loving hugs, Linda |

I know this feeling all too well, Lori although maybe his having an affair made it easier after "the hard", to let go of the love that was mine meant to be forever. You will probably have your feel of freedom long before me, just don't let him push the guilt to you for not doing his part. It does tend to drag on, in order to compromise and walk away in less pain. Sorry I wasn't around last night...been missing you M |

And you're missed too....even by some like me, who also miss being here. I know the depth this comes from, because I have been there myself. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
