I'm afraid of the dark now (big girls aren't supposed to cry either) I can't pretend everything is fine I can't acknowledge all you say with a smile and a laugh no, you can let it all go like time means nothing to you but watching our family go up in smoke is tearing me apart the hurt has settled in my bones to ache there, raw and sure like a winter chill covers the earth after an early fall I drove twenty miles in the pouring rain and didn't remember the drive later I drank a bottle of wine and felt nothing I ate something for lunch but didn't taste it are all divorces this way? I tried to be happy about losing you today I remembered your faults I picked you apart yet, still I hurt still I longed for you to look at me again it aches my heart to know you hate me now you wanted to part just friends but it didn't work that way not with thirteen years together we had too much history to just fade away now our separation teeters on a precipice of hatred and I am powerless to do anything but watch it fall [This message has been edited by X Angel (edited 09-04-2000).] |

XAngel~ Sometimes, somethings hurts so much that the only thing a friend can offer is compassion ... please know that you have that in many friends here. I feel your pain and know that you will get past it in time. Hopefully with the good memories intact. Hugs, hon. Love you~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Heather~ Marge is right...all we can offer you is compassion (and our shoulders, here's my shoulder if you need one). Take care, and we are all right here, you know where to find us. My prayers will be with you and your family. God bless. Elizabeth |

You're more than a poem on a thread, you are special and when you hurt we hurt. God bless you. Kathleen |
