Blood and bones don't grieve
the way a heart does,
through the night.
Sticks and stones can break me,
but they'll never make me cry.

You always had a knack
for dissapointing,
and ways to make me sigh.
(I feared living
more than dying
when you were still around.)

I can disregard an ache
or stinging lungs,
or bones that break,
but

forgiveness doesn't come at ease,
'cause you are still the part of me
                
                             that's gone.

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.

GG,
   You really know how to express your feelings well.  This has an intensity about it.  I wish I knew what to say.

GG,
Speaking of pain...it seems you know it well. Intense write. Peace.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
