Looking In Strange how words were once needed, when the pain inside could show nothing on the outside, but tears. No way to express to another the turnings of my world. Strange how someone always came to my aid, I thought a miracle. A care package of warmth, nothing given that was tangible but always something, no matter how small to light my way to another day. I must have imagined it all, misunderstood the intent, took it for love, beyond friendship and so, my world is collapsing, with no one noticing as the insides churn, the outside hardens, my taste bitters and once again I am in shutdown mode, locking the doors until life fades and the feelings become numb and only then, can I go on. Strange how I thought I could take away some of your pain, bring a bit of happiness in return, sharing pieces of me...but at what price? I have always been a one man woman, and that will never change. I have always been honest, caring to a fault, scared to do wrong, although often blamed for it because I was an easy mark. And here I am... alone, and I wonder if maybe that is where I have always been all my life, alone, on the outside looking in. "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |

It seems impossible that this could not be written from personal experience because of how well you've done it, but I still hope it isn't. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

my dear... we all feel the isolation and the pain at times...and it is the over and over repeating of those emotions that can drag us down...but you say yourself... you always came away with something...something good... hugs for you.... hope life smiles on you soon. |

Sy, I had wanted to tell you that on this day I was far from maturing but acting out in childish ways, trying to hold onto something that probably can't be confined to me. But thank you for the compliment *s My heart lately is guiding my head and actions, rather than common sense. Kit, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you very much. {{BIG HUGS}} returning to you. VAS, I write only of personal experience, maybe being to open for those here. Some days I even tire of reading of my own innermost feelings and outermost hurts wishing I could write of something truer and happier. peaches73533 ...maybe I should change my name to nakdsorrows..*s JamesM...thank you Just Kathleen..wish I could explain...maybe someday. thank you ((hugsss)) Cpat...lately coming away with something isn't strong enough to overcome the words or silence or hurt that rises daily. But you are right, I basically am letting myself drag me down...sometimes being at the bottom gives one a chance to start over again. I really don't expect life to smile for me anymore..that way if it does, well it will be a bonus. hugs *s ~Wynter "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |
