The sky splits open and weeps for me today I amused myself once with childlike illusions like these But I know better now No sheppard minds this sheep no angels weep for the loss of this soul l thought I'd known what alone was but I was wrong lying here in the dark trembling in its grasp But I know better now This shadow long and tattered spread upon the wall which groans from the weight of Past I watch the cracks spread spiderweb pattern hands raised to brace the walls from falling once again But I know better now |

Sometimes at night the aloneness closes in on me too, I know this feeling well and often wake up in fear. M |

Raph, I am not going to say what I really think, because that would be about me, and not you... But how about just a hug and tell you I really like this. It touches deeply. Hugs, Pat  |

good one ralph, definitely... we've all been there at one point in time, I think.. sometimes reading this kind of poetry lifts me up more than it drags me down, you can't run from loneliness and you can't run from bad feelings, you have to find a way to revel in them while they are here, and all things pass. powerful piece. -matt |

You express it better than I ever could. Your writing and depth of emotion continues to amaze me, and this is yet another one that I relate to...no wonder why I'm your manager  This is a keeper~ Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Of course it would that's part of my dream..nice little coma remember..sigh dreams Raphey,  As you know, this is your response to Sue's reply. All I can say is, I honestly and truly hope that your "dreams" will very soon be realities. And, remember, no matter what darkness we seem to have to face, we have made a lot of friends here at PIP who are very willing to give us the love, support and encouragement that we need. And, they also do the best they can to understand what we are going through. Raph, I didn't intend to get so long-winded, but this poem really touched me...I could feel it....because I have felt it!! Heart Hugs to you, friend Ethel |

Thanks Melissa, and here's the 90% i owe you manager, I can't believe you actually put that in your bio grin thanks icebox appreciate the read Ethel we have something in common I hope my dreams come true too! grin Thanks you're too sweet to me. Hugs Dixie usually a kick to the teeth where i come from Sue Look I'm not going to induce a coma but i really think it would suit me just short one..maybe a year. Rest, weightloss hopefully some memory loss..it's all good |

You write of a subject so difficult to describe that many can relate to. |

have you considered changes instead of a coma since when you wake up all that crap will still be waiting for you - lol Oh & sounds like you need a new Manager if you are considering a comatose existence I know a good one if you want a reference.. |
