understand me
when I say my heart cannot bear the scars of a cutting tone
with as much diligence as it used to.
There is no more room on this skin for another ache
another gash
another slice made by words not thought upon
another lonely trail made by unkempt tears.
The only place I could ever dream
was in the arms of your words
but the pillows and sheets that once comforted me
are getting rough
and I can't bear that scraping sound my body makes
every time I move within them.

"two hearts will build the foundation for one point of light
a duet done with passion"

smiling....sounds like you heard a "want of oil" all the way over there...

You, lady, write the sadness beautifully.

A lesson in sensitivity..Harsh words and tone do scrap and rub a love's soft skin...and wound a heart...a reminder for all who love and want to continue to love...thank you.

...believe what your heart feels...

In the quiet of the aftermath comes reflection, forgiveness, and the realization that love listens with soft ears.

Thank you.

Very intense, Jennifer...a short poem for you, but you managed to say it all in this one. *hugs* my friend.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

but love this poem.

Oh, I hear you. Perhaps some Sandalwood essential oil would do the trick. Great for the skin, good for the emotions, and can perk up one's love life.

Sorry to hear the pain in your words---you wrote about it so well, I'm feeling it!
