28 years and still I am unloveable still I falter into falling giving with a heart that knows no different and has never felt the sunshine of reward; the returned feeling. I fight against the bitter taste rejection leaves in me and turn my face into light thinking the next day will reveal answers or at least some trace of hope that has not yet been denied. And all this swirls into the memories of the first time you hurt me a myriad of sorrows that I've saved to draw upon: your face: open your voice: brittle against my ears saying the words that I have always had thrown at me how many times will no one want me how many broken pieces are there left to shatter 28 years and still unloveable 28 years and still I falter. ------------------ And I thought: this is how poetry is born. It comes from invisible heights, it is secret and dark in its origins, solitary and fragrant, and like the river it will assimilate whatever falls in its current; it will seek a route between the mountains, and its crystalline song will ripple through the meadows."- Pablo Neruda |

once again, at the bottom of the list I wonder- is it me? is it something I said? |

It's certainly not you, Christina. Speaking for myself, I find it difficult to respond to someone's pain...what can I say?? I feel the emotion you convey... Don't be discouraged...it's not you, or your poem. |

I think this is absolutely wonderful, Christina, simply wonderful. I like the way you have the word 'still' standing alone and the way you connect 'falter' at the beginning and end of the poem. Lovely work. |

Back to the top you go - and remember, no-one is unlovable, some people are lucky sooner, that's all. |
