I shatter to pieces
right in front of me
and I'm in no mood
for silly reverie.

The world crumbles around me
I don't try to conceal it
and if I still love you
I don't know, I don't feel it.

Leave a message after the tone
leave your card, leave me alone
leave the light on when you leave
so I can see what I've always known

and when I finish reconstruction
you might come back around by then
and maybe I'll be strong enough
to be able to feel for you again.

You did it again.  Caught me, hooked me and enticed me to come back to read again ... and I am so happy that I did.  You are just getting better and better -- and your writing has always been good in my opinion.

I've missed reading you since I've been MIA.  You've got some kinda inner strength chickadee, and it's shining through more and more

Alison, I think you are my biggest fan and i like that! Thank you! I think you and I have lots in common.

Sheli, I'm glad to see you back around, I understand life gets in the way sometimes. You've been missed

Martie, thanks so much! I know I'm in one piece but some days just make me feel like I'm falling apart...and then tomorrow comes

Hope, thank you my friend...and I see you are doing well on your construction too

Sy, pick a piece, any piece
I'm sure there's a little luck in all of them

Oh yes, I know how this feels. I've been there and have come out the other side.

Leave a message after the tone
leave your card, leave me alone
leave the light on when you leave
so I can see what I've always known

I would just add ...

That a life lived with you
Is a life lived alone.

To thy own self be true
