          The Awful Truth

What is one more brittle heart
lost to unrequited love and
that which 'could have been'
here in the deadly silence of
   deepest night
beneath the boundless immensity
   of space and time.
We are the moonlit shadows …
lives with no more meaning
   than the grains of sand.
Somewhere one I once loved
   has died tonight
and I remain beyond all
remembrance and forgiveness.

This did it for me.

So sorry, Bruce. Even your words of deepest, darkest pain are beautiful beyond what most of us can ever imagine.

Very beautiful, Bruce. Don't forget, though, you have many friends here in Pip who care.

Beautiful in its deep sadness.
