you seem nervous?
your question though quite
pointed has bad aim and not only
irritates but astounds me... despite
the fact that you weren’t there
only moments ago... wait... .did I
say moments? somehow it seems a
lifetime.. about ten sarcastic replies
do battle on the tip of my tongue but
I refrain from speaking and simply
bite your head off

you obviously have no need for
eyes if you cannot tell by the gaunt
look on my face that I just experienced
a piece of hell and lived through it
you clearly have no need for
your mouth as you continually
let careless words slip through it
you apparently have no need for
a brain if you abstain from using it
and you evidently have no need of
ears if from your distance
you cannot hear my heart breaking

ok...I know this is bad...will excuse this with saying that yesterday was bad to at least the 3rd or 4th power...sigh

This is not bad. It's wonderful, spoken as only one who has known such devastation can write.
Wait til ~M~ and Dixie see it...
Very real and honest.

Enjoyed, (I am sorry to tell you)

Hugs, Pat

Now how is it that you can even pitch a fit poetically? *S* This hits me on two distinct levels... it fills me with sorrow that you're having to go through such troubling times... and yet it also fills me with admiration that you're able to articulate so amazingly... when under similar circumstances I fear I'd be reduced to screaming "I'm fed up!" *S* Excellent work!

I loved this! Especially...

"you apparently have no need for
a brain if you abstain from using it"

If I had a nickel for everytime I told my husband this... but never have I done it so poetically.....
Isn't it so annoying when you've had the worst day and come home to listen to more nonsense?!?

very much enjoyed.
