On The Verge Of Tears certain to cry, I am...I have felt it welling up for days- can't tell if I'm angry or sad, if at you or for me...but anyways it's coming despite my fear to mess my skin with water and salt- or to stain my silken chest...or crash my car and have my tears at fault it's inevitable, quite so...and soon to un-nevermind what I have felt- unable to short out the longing...or freeze the candy coating to keep it un-melt to be fit then to resign the day to a defeat that only statues know- to sit beside myself in some quiet hidden corner...and let it go. And who's to say it'd be so bad though it's not to say it'd be that great- but what's left to do...by the time symptoms appear...I fear it's clear... for me to see, it's now too late. |

Well written, but terribly and understandably sad. If life has taught me anything it is that the future will always bring change, and change may be as easily good as bad. Open the windows of your mind and let these bad mistral winds blow right on through (then slam the windows down on them and laugh as they blow on about their course).  |

It does help to let it out. When I get that feeling I try to ignore it but once I get it out I feel better. Until the next time. If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Everybody needs a good cry now and then, I think it's a release that keeps us from blowing our tops. Poetry is good too, it helps us to get those hurtful feelings out. I hope you felt better after writing this. I enjoyed reading it. Ida |

it's inevitable, quite so...and soon to un-nevermind what I have felt- unable to short out the longing...or freeze the candy coating to keep it un-melt It's inevitable, yes, dear Dixie. I feel the depth of your thoughts and hope tears will bring inner peace and clarity back. A fine write! ((((((Dixie))))) Love and hugs. Margherita |

Hi, PS. Perhaps I am just a clod, but I thought that I dectected a note of whimsy or mirth somewhere under the sadness. Sort of a "Well, I'm going to cry anyway, so I might as well let it all hang out!" kind of a mood. Maybe I'm wrong... If so, I apologize ahead of time!

John, LOL you are right on that one! I'm glad to know people know the feeling I'm trying to convey by only using words, which are so often misunderstood. thanks everyone for the nice replies here, taken to heart  |
