Do you ever sleep?
I ask this as if I do..

Sometimes I wonder if it's because
we don't drink enough water.

Well, that's what my mother says..
a warm bath is the cure for everything.

Somehow, I marked with ink,
the words I wanted to remember.
Perhaps just a gentle reminder of what
inspired me to stay alive in the first place.

Yeah, you promised eternity,
forever..and so many words that mean
the same thing.

god forbid we remember what
brought us together to begin with.
for the sake of my sanity you left me out of this.

Unfortunately,
I was one of the main characters in this
little act we called beckoning love..

Opening night just won't be the same if
I can't recall my lines..

To paraphrase Dear William, "All the world's a stage and we are the players on it."

Pensive write--and lovely as usual.

I could use a warm bath,
but these words will do in a pinch.

Ouch!!
Been here, done this, bought the wardrobe.

Awesome write.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

simple, honest, and true-to-life. your informal language and bluntness really make it hard not to feel it. you make tragic reality beautiful.

Well...now I know what is wrong with me...I only have a shower!  

I for one, like a little drama...keeps things balanced...

I also love how you write..(as you know)

Always could count on you for a wonderful write

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
