Am I to cast all my friends aside,
That you may see my love true?
You cast me off as if I have died,
I wonder, is this my due?

You speak contempt, dashing all hope,
Scorning the love I share.
Leave me on the outside to cope,
I wonder, is that fair?

Am I to wait here, all alone,
Never knowing what was my wrong?
Yesterday you held me to your throne,
Now, where do I belong?

You turn your head and walk away,
Without even a goodbye.
Was I not worth time it would take to say,
Or could you not look me in the eye?

Do I not deserve a word in this,
Or would it just hang on your guilt?
If so, be this my good-bye kiss,
"I only spoke what I felt."

And after-drunkeness of soul
Succeeds the glory of the bowl -
An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away

It helps to write emotions out on paper, doesn't it? Sort of like an excorcism to me...Then I can begin to leave them lie there, instead of being inside of me.

And it is sad when someone so important in our lives suddenly treats us, or we treat them as though they never existed.

Well done
Corinne

I don't know exactly what to say, you more
than anyone knows the hurt she has been through, maybe she got scared, all of the sudden, ya know it can happen, when a persons
mind goes off in a direction unchecked, we all think some strange, if not scary things,
I call them the what ifs, and they are very real, my friend, Please try not to be angry
at Gennifer, when frightened poeple can do
some drastic things without any warning!!!!


If you need to talk to someone you can email
me, or you can reach me on Instant messenger
at cordaddy33, Michael just hang in there!!!

i have watched as you have flown with exhilleration, then crashed with pain. I know that these are real emotions and human. My question is this. (for both you and pFF) Is it healthy for a relationship to do this to the individuals involved?

I am saying nothing about you or pFF because I do not know the two of you intimately. My question is from a person outside, looking in. What both pFF and you have to do is take some time and evaluate the situation. Step back from the emotions and think with a clear head.

Sometimes we get so lost in the feeling, we loose our perspective. Just a thought...please do not be angry with me for these comments.

Marilyn, writing is a form of therapy for me. I am a chronically depressed individual who would be writng just as gut wrenching of pieces whether or not they were directed to Gennifer or not. I can assure you and everyone else who might question mine and Gennifer's relationship that I am a much better and much "healthier" person for having her in my life. The stress of a long distance relationship can take its toll and lead to miscommunications at times, but Femme and I, both realize our weaknesses, and place our relationship in the hands of God. Never doubt that she is a blessing to me.

Your writing speaks volumes. Keep it up, the catharsis is good.

Thankyou for adressing my comment Michael. I wasn't trying to be mean spirited in any way. As I stated I do not know you or Gennifer personally. I am very glad that both of you approach this in a health way. My hopes are with both of you (as they always have been).
