I told you I was glad ...You'd moved on Did you notice... the lie Read between....the lines If you did, you hid it well Cause I wanted you back so bad it ached And there was a hole in my heart And a whole lotta tearstained pillows And crying don't look good on me Though it turns my eyes blue But you wouldn't know that You haven't seen the tears Or how I wished you could dry them On a re-read .... perhaps ...you misunderstood But you won't ask ... and I won't tell One stupid piece of punctuation Changing a meaning Trying to tell how I'd missed you so Wanted you back I was eating crow Perhaps not enough for your appetite And I realized There ain't no use crying over the milk And I ain't gonna eat the crow no more And I don't wanna feel the pain Slowly driving me insane What did you say?... I'm glad you said something (You're glad I said something????) No "baby I miss you and I feel it too" No "baby let's talk it through" So I shall bid adieu and adios To the us I wanted back For now I can go on Face another dawn No tear stained pillows It's over and Tonight .... for the first time in weeks I will sleep You can never win or lose If you don't Run the race Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way [This message has been edited by Tracey (03-15-2012 11:35 PM).] |

Good. You cannot dwell. You have to get on with your life. Good luck. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Well now, that read like a song, and yes a final swan song at that! Good to see you posting again, even with melancholia. |

There ain't no use crying over the milk And I ain't gonna eat the crow no more And I don't wanna feel the pain Slowly driving me insane It often takes many a tear-sogged pillow to get to this point... but the realization that there's nothing you can/could do becomes the solvent that releases your feet from the glue holding them in place... and allows you to go forward. You've written the painful journey beautifully! |

Crow never did cook up well over high heat... and simmering takes too much time. Much better to change your diet.  |

It's amazing the quality of that first good night of sleep once one truly has "let go." in the same regard, the sun tends to be more dazzling the next morning and we find ourselves attuned to things like the birds chirping and the fresh smell of the grass we're walking on... things that have always been there but we were to caught up in our grief to notice before. Hope you're noticing all those little, special things now. Michael |
