The atmosphere is
    H
    E
    A
    V
    Y
now that your work has been done

It's ripe with the scent of salt and metal
of
    tears
           and
                 blood

And I FEAR...
Fear that nothing will be sacred again
    that I will never be the same again


My ears have been pierced
and sounds utterly RUINED
        everyone rings tinny
                and false

My once gentle heart
has become BRINY and unyielding
         each beat pumps sea water
               through my veins
and into my soul...


And in all things...
you've proven to be
     a FIREBRAND
At once thorough and concise
         SCORCH and salt the earth beneath my feet
so it won’t heal
            once you’re gone


I’m all twists and turns
    all spun about
with BLURRED lines
    and confused boundaries  
You've SPOILED the way
    I see the world...
        you within it...
            and what that represents

Pity...
    I never saw it coming...
          though perhaps...
                I should have...


I used to know it all so well
I cared,
        BELIEVED,
               understood.

But everything is different now...
the air...
    the sounds...
the earth...
        the view...

All of the world
    ME...
and the way
        I see YOU.

Powerful write, dear Aenea. Things are in constant change, but please go on to believe!

Never allow anyone to shorten your enthusiasm of life and youth. Every day is a new beginning!

Love,
Margherita

Thank you Marherita!  Sometimes people can really blindside you...  But in the end, if I've learned something valueable - then I think I'll be alright.  



If I don't say it...who will?
