I ask you this, if nothing else... please tell me what to do... You are playing with me I fear. You are taking a heart that in truth has been yours for fourteen years... and you are twisting it. Over and over again in your hands you are seeing how strong it is.. or if it is made of glass. Im not a victim, nor am I helpless.. Im a strong woman in many facets of my life... Ive stopped taking **** from people, Ive stated my peace and stood by my word... and have tried to be there for the ones that are close to me... But with you, everything falls away, the strength, the walls, everything... All that remains is a feeling so pure, so true, so tender that I cry when I think of you... my throat swells slightly as my breath catches. Because I love you, and those words....I love you.. are not from children's lips nor built on a foundation of illusion, they are real... and if you play with me, if you put me once more on a shelf, that same shelf I fought years ago to be freed from.... I don't know what I'll do. Because this love, this feeling is something I thought had died inside me.. something so innocent and untainted... but with you... the girl I use to know.. is becoming reborn.. one that hadnt seen the evils and the anger and the bitterness of the world. one that still could smile and laugh and know that these emotions were real. with you... I know myself again.. I dont ponder and stare into eyes that dont belong.. I smile and embrace... So I ask you this, if nothing else... please tell me what to do. Denise~ |

Denise..the raw emoton here is so overwhelming..hard to look at..this piece is TIGHT...wonderful.. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

I am honestly near tears. My heart aches. I knew love that strong and now I, as well, want to know what to do. -Jes |
