Stringing Me Along

I process my day healing
from what ails me, knowing
it can't be cured.
Missing the feelings of,
longing to hear a voice
but only the echo of my own
reaches, in the moments of sad.

I bleed on the inside and bruise
on the outside, covered by
the mood of the day that no longer
changes so easily, by seeing you.

I pick up the last of, left in a basket,
and finger the feel of the tiny beads threaded
and remember the day you tortured me
to do what you were unable to.

Said you hated me for being that abled,
smiled and said they were now mine.
A whole day with me trying to please
and occupy your mind.
A whole day of stringing me along.

Today I am remembering.
Today I am missing you...without a word.

M-girl, I could envision you there with your basket of threads pondering this memory.  Very tangible and melancholy.  Have a good day, okay?.   .......jo

Sometimes, silence strings us too...
but as long as we are not hamstrung,
we will be all right,
and we will survive the night.

oooh this makes me angry... the jerk who would do that...
I'm amazed and humbled by the way you can make a reader feel with you.

Hugs...

just so you understand...

I am missing my sister today. I thought of her, as I passed a basket holding glass beads I strung on wire for her, making necklaces and bracelets.

She needed to be kept busy while not being able to do much and when her eyes began to fail and her brain couldn't tell her fingers what to do, she would have me do them for her. A whole day of stringing beads drove me nuts but she enjoyed watching me and when the day was over laughed and gave them all to me to take home...

So the title was really in jest~~

Well sheesh... that certainly puts things in a whole new perspective...

I guess one's moods color one's outlook, my apologies for missing your intent. I still think it a powerful write, and now I wrestle with two strong emotional reactions instead of one. Hugs to you.
