Why do I confuse memories with love?
Why is laughter like a caress?
Perhaps my reverting to the past,
Is a way to cope with stress?

Why can I still hear the words,
Spoken so many years ago,
Right now as though they are whispered in my ear?
Why can I not let go?

Why does a simple touch no matter it's level,
Touch the strings of my soul?
Why do words spoken in anger,
Always take such a toll?

Why I am I sometimes jealous and petty?
Why do I feel so hard done by?
Why when I am alone,
Do I hang my head and cry?

So many questions, so few answers,
Love is a gift I still need to find,
Those that do not receive love,
Struggle to give it in kind.

My feelings unsubstanial, neglected, unimportant,
My needs I'm ashamed to say are only that of my son,
My love unwavering yet not good enough,
My wounds merely an expense and inconvenience.

I know now it's not me, for even the best is not good enough,
Those left behind and therefore unelightened,
Do not breath air, only dust,
No wonder I am frightened!

They don't know what they've got til it's gone,
Don't know how lucky they are,
They refuse to look around and look up,
And see that shining star.

And you know what.... it's their loss!!!!!!!

I hate to ask another, but with all the LOVE,   the  help,   and simple  understanding, why do they ask for more,  and  why are they just biding time until someone dies ? I think about soo  many, but  even my  worst toughts can't imagine another one  alone?.? Maybe I'm just losing it. Hug, kiss, or make love please.

Hi Isis,

So many questions indeed and I find there is NO logic to thier reasoning, no understanding of love and if any improvement comes it's short lived and wavering at best! The only answer I have found to endure THIER CRIMES is to walk my own paths with-in OUR paths, giving me a refuge of sorts. I've missed you Sis and can feel your words very deeply, I guess for a while now I have been playing SOMEONE ELSE'S GAMES but it's getting OLD!!! I have been trying to read more from these blue pages of Passions and find that wonderful feeling of life coming back through words of strangers other souls comforting to be with, hang in there sweetie out of everyone I know you seem to have so much faith to me and remember this souls cares and understands.

Love, Cerenity
