Walking Into The Middle of a Muttering

the me that tries to forget
the me that wanders alone
in what for me has become
an insensitive world

one just not aware
of the strings in my heart
that have lost their hold and now
dangle in the despair of your absence

and then there were the nights
and the mornings after
and all those waking hours
and then...

it wasn't the letdowns
it was like the "dog"
or the "job", the "how are you's"
... etcetera

Using time like
a box of band-aids
But now the tin is empty
And I’m still bleeding

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

I think we have to change ourselves to change the way others respond to us...james

This is just about the loneliest thing I have read in a long time. All the bandaids in the world cant stop the ache that just bleeds from this

Again, your pain comes from a different place than mine but your exacto knife rendering of it is so perfect that it opened a seal on mine. I had an awakening of sorts. I realized I'm still bleeding from dead ex's. Time has not appeared to "heal" some wounds, it just runs interference.

I am enjoying your work very much. ~L

Thank you all for your wonderful replies.

Miss Lori, you've placed a few extra in my tin.

So many thanks!
