Announce your purpose. You'll want this one in chains for the challenge. She'll smile plead and grab with claws, the hidden pieces of your soul, before you know what's happening. This because she draws demons to stand beside angels. You'll thrash against, pretend to be unknowable, and be uncomfortable admitting truths to her. You will speak them anyway. This is the price for what you seek behind her eyes and beyond the guarded stone. Serve your purpose. Play. Continue to believe in your control and deny that you're on your knees already while she stands in the cold distortion of static. "I know this love will tear me to pieces |

Forgive me Jenn if you think think my lack of response these days projects an apathy of sorts on my part; that seems to be all I have to offer these days. I long for the days of feigned dispassion right about now, or for the need to feign it, Glad to see you writing my dear. |

Yann, The price is openness, but your question makes me think that willingness to be an open book takes love. You've given me something to ponder. Thank you for reading. "I know this love will tear me to pieces |

Much enjoyed...this makes me feel, one has to respect a certain distance to guard against retaliatory action ...that one shouldn't be there to create discord if the purpose is "play" with no malice intended. |
