I must look at the reality in the mirror I see only bits and pieces of you and me I must look at the facts that you are there and I am still here with a silent tear I must keep that wall up that keeps me "safe" and you adrift from me it's the only way to be I must not let myself fall hopelessly in love with you till I feel you through and through only to not have or hold you I must regain control take my ravaged heart back put the cards back on the stack So I might remain cold and intact It is the only solution for this pollution in my soul I must regain control once again Where loneliness IS my only friend |

Woah! This is a terrific piece of writing!  "I must not let myself fall hopelessly in love with you till I feel you through and through only to not have or hold you" ... sometimes, though, I wonder if it is better to have something than nothing at all - what pain is worse, huh? Hmm. You've captured this soooo well! Particularly the ending. Take care.~ Tara ~ "A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald MacLeish |

"I must look at the facts that you are there and I am still here with a silent tear" This is a bit too familiar, maybe a vein too closer to mine own heart and suffering...DAMN REALITY...hehe, good work.

Illusion...Isn't it something that we can't have love AND control....it seems we are always sacrificing one for the other...never letting go entirely because we fear the consequences. Well said here. Enjoyed it. Hardrock |

taramw....Yes I hear what your saying, and I truly understand it. BUT..... I have lived that way for 14 years now, and it is NOT better or best! I think we need to love ourselves beyond that, even if no one else is there to love us and we are all alone. Just my thoughts these days. Thanks so much for your kind words. Take care and find love! Deranger.....yes reality can be a real trip! But I guess there is no other way huh!? Thanks for your reply and I hope you find reality is treating you better soon! hugs! Hardrock....Well as usual, you've hit the nail on the head!! I get so flustered with the pull I feel internally! And yes.....love or control???..ahhhh .....well we know TRUE love does not control. arghhhhhh, why did you have to say that! hehe.....Thanks once again, oh "guru of DP"!! Just kidding! |

Illusion... Very well expressed thoughts, here. I think I agree with tara, though... A cold, sterile existence is no replacement for the potential rewards of taking risks...Although, that's a hard pill to swallow if you're hurting. Great job! I truly enjoyed the thought journey this piece evoked. Sheila |
