Speak to me
lull me into your arms
with whispered words

Hold me close enough
to thrust the dagger through
This is love?

Raph,

Never have so few words described my situation of youth and adulthood.

You cannot imagine how closely you've come to writing this for me.

Glad you've found family here....

Hugs and love, Pat

Sometimes that's the best they can do, poor things....

A light dose of strychninie will do wonders for their disposition!

Raph:

I know you know our families are pretty
far past the psychiatric definition of
"insane"  - but here:

yes  . . . kind of like walking into your own grave - the one they dig for you daily

God I wish I didnt know how this feels - but I do . . .

amazing writing - but - they always are
brilliant sweety
xxoo

Thanks Everybody, sometimes I wish nobody could relate that stuff like this doesn't happen to people, other times I'm grateful it does to some extent, reminds me I'm not alone in this stupidity.

Well add me to that list of 'relate.'  This is powerful, you obviously know my father.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

I know this has been related thus far
with family - to which I can relate
my mother should be an assassin - lol -

I wish I could stop there
but it would seem as though this also applies to my personal life
I am beginning to wonder if there is a course that anyone going into a relationship with me takes on this subject
lmao - I'm considering body armor in addition to the walls around my scarred & hardened heart
