From the pain that you say lives deep inside my eyes you might think that I don't but I do I know that hurts should not be buried alive they need be dealt with no matter how painful. My ears turned in the opposite direction cause your words to land flatly beside me each one echoing that the hurt has requisite of healing. I scoot away and question their nearness with quaking trepidation. My hope is dead I argue and rightfully buried. Though I am reticent to recall the horror I am fairly certain I am not to blame the fatal blow was self-inflicted. I do remember grieving and it has taken quite a few years to learn to live with out crying, so can you please tell me what purpose would this resurrection of hope serve? Is releasing it any different than its death and burial, for in my minds eye, either way I am still without it. But wait, does the very essence of hope ache for freedom; is that it? Can you tell me, is that the pain that you see? Did I bind and gag something that was not mine to kill? Sheltered by I don't care protection pulled tight enough to keep my shoulders from buckling, I press forward. You seemed to think I need be here, so here I am, but how I ever arrived I do not know- irritation and cynicism have tangled themselves around each footstep. A few footsteps later, I find myself looking back, and only because the screaming has left my chest and now seems to be coming from behind me, somehow I passed by. But I do not turn, my direction remains steadfast; dead and buried is at least tangible, proof of a one time existence. |

I must say that was quite a poem and I enjoyed it a lot. It was a bit dark which is something I like in a poem. |

You lay down in words what I can only feel over time and time again when time is the only blanket I seem to cling too; and then I worry if I waste this precious warmth; or if I am putting every second to some good use, as they would prescribe and DO, through some miraculous nudge of remember me and I was about to copy only a few lines of special nod...but you knew I would pull them here, and then you understood why every line was highlighted to copy into a semblance of response... because sometimes, little one, neither of us really needs words.  |

"A few footsteps later, I find myself looking back, and only because the screaming has left my chest and now seems to be coming from behind me," ~ and each step forward brings you into a new existence and puts that pain further behind you. I am wrapping my arms about you, Sweetie. I can feel your pain and I want to help lessen it. EA |

I know that hurts should not be buried alive they need be dealt with no matter how painful. Ah.... but numbness is so enticing when enjoyment is no longer possible and endurance our only goal... Beautiful, painful work... |
