crucial daggers thrust though crevasses of my soul like arrows piercing tea-time toasts on a cloudy day words, they hurt so much inflicting pain creating doubts like ice cubes sizzling on a hot iron grill leaving only the splatter of fresh-seared flesh |

Steaven, I understand this one too well and wish that I didn't. Once the flesh is seared, it always wears the scar. Thank you for speaking about a healing part of me. Alison |

Not much left after that grilling, is there? Like Lori said, intense work. Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake! |

Lori, thank you for picking up on the essence of this write…it is greatly appreciated Alison, real life events might make for relatable writing, but they surely share pain, do they not? Thanks for reading and responding JerryPat, not much more than memories, pain and…at the same time…hope. Thank you for your kind comments |
