Shall You Forever Be are you still there just beyond my glimpse out of finger tips reach shall you forever be that touch impatiently waited for a page in chapter out of order I am still, yet my heart jumps there are things, things unsaid I should say them now before time passes away and I have lost my last chance was it that I have been too afraid of the words or were you too afraid to hear them for once spoken unable to unwind and replace them upon my tongue they have been safe inside me and beat across my heart uncontrollably a whisper, echoing against a wall do I deny their existence, no but sheltered them in the shadow of their silence unrevealed will they die a lonely death nightly I run in a nightmare running to and away from an invisible monster’s edge denial, unrequited, and rejection I wake in total exhaustion of what I should say "I'm so hard to handle |

"nightly I run in a nightmare running to and away from an invisible monster’s edge denial, unrequited, and rejection I wake in total exhaustion of what I should say" ~ Helen, you pulled me into your nightmare ~ and I can understand why you're exhausted! You have that ability to make your readers feel what you're feeling ~ and see what you're seeing. May your dreams be sweet, Sweetie Love & a compassionate hug, Linda   |

Words that are perhaps better left unsaid until you stand before the person that truly wants to hear them...James |

After losing someone and being haunted by words left unsaid, I found myself guilty of saying too much... and those words just can't be reeled back in once uttered. *S* So I know this quandary well... I just don't know the answers. *S* Beautiful work!!! |

Doors should never be closed before the words that needed to be said were said. When there is no clarity in a good-bye, it will hurt and hurt for a long time. So sad. You have rendered this situation masterfully. Love, Margherita |
