Little betrayals
like little nails
hammered into my heart.

Small lies
as love dies
in the quiet before the dawn.

It isnt always an earthquake
that sends cracks through
loves foundation.

Sometimes its just
one too many late nights
left alone in the dark.

Sometimes its as simple
as a word left unsaid
a touch not given.

Little betrayals
like little nails

Like little nails.

Paula, welcome home.  
Once again, you've taken a pain
and nailed it home...

I have missed your writing...
please, stay awhile...

I have personally killed love in this fashion. Learned too late.

Thanks for your honest piece

As always Paula, one cannot help but feel your words, well done! Take care.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.  ~Arthur Miller

Hello my twin...
Yes, you said so much here, and all too true. It's the little 'left undone' things that nail the wall up between two people. The forgotten hugs, little kisses for no reason, and the simple things that don't cost a penny, but add so much to our lives.  Paula, it's so very good to be able to read your work again...I missed you...

Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!

Paula,
welcome back
I hope you aren't made frail
stabbed by those littel nails
good writing

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
