Layers of Pain Revealed

Within my mind
it seems as if
no woman can pacify me,
for when other women I see,
I think of she.
Some reach out
wanting to touch me
but they seem stiff,
like barbie dolls
lacking lives and
personalities.
For now I need women
to leave me alone,
for alone is
where I must be,
at least until I
figure out who I am
and set myself free.
Or until this pain
kills a part of me.

Sometimes we need that space to discover who we truly are. You've captured this perfectly James ... much enjoyed.

Best wishes,

I finally took a year to myself, best thing I ever did, then it became four years before i let a man in~ Unfortunetly not mr right, but pain is gone and all was good.

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

Figure out all you want, James, but at the end of the day - you are love! We all are!

James, sometimes alone can be the best place for us and it can be our friend when we need it most. Nicely done. Felt this.

Pain may kill parts of us, however that allows us to grow new parts.
