been 27 years now

and I can't seem to stop going there
to lay flowers down

really, all of March sucks;
all days I drown

in memories
like fingers through hair
and feeling the exit wound
at the wake, there.

I cry and cry and I'm angry still,
keep asking why you lost the will

and preachers still think it odd
that I don't seem to believe in God
while I'm drowning,
trying to maintain composure-
screaming, yet no answers
to give me a closure.

Dixie, there are some things in life we can control and others we can't. So we do our best~~ and sometimes leave the questions unanswered.

Dixie

Dates are so important.  I tried to explain myself to two young "christian" men who came to the door yesterday wanting me to go to church.  I told them how mad I'd been at God, and that I wasn't any more, and that I held church inside and was writing my own book.  They will probably be back.

Very sad, dear Dixie.
God is mysterious, but His LOVE is not. It is tangible even in the very moment when you feel you are drawning ... because your heart is still able to love and CREATE.

Loving you,
Margherita

Dix.....HE gave you all of us, that we might
be there with you....and understand your
needs....learning from what you have felt
and written,  spoke and conveyed in many
ways....   We are with you

Everyone needs closure, and often times it is difficult. Take care, JulieAnn

It is sad,

We keep on, keeping on, taught to learn from,

The same tradgedy, over and over;

till it no longer makes sense.
It never did.

my empathy, dwgpoet.
