(while thinking on an ended marriage and slowly growing friendship) If you think anger burns in me like some patient flame waiting on skin to melt away to bone then you must think me softer than I am. For something within me is quicker than flame to protest the life of your continued crimes. I am aching because of you smoldering in impatience and wondering why you care at all since you've been gone. Hear me when I say I'm angry because you said you loved me then twisted yourself into something unrecognizable. so you lost yourself you lost me Amd sometimes I hate you because I have guilt enough for us both. You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL [This message has been edited by Temptress (04-26-2003 01:05 AM).] |

um... empathy, sympathy, something is floating around in this head of mine. I feel your pain, I know where you're coming from... a hundred cliches that just don't quite do it. This one reached me. Very, very well done. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

Just the fact that you read it says plenty, JP. Thanks for being here tonight. Its nice to know I'm not alone in these late hours. You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL |

If you think anger burns in me like some patient flame I really like your opening lines in this. I'm sorry for your pain, but I know you are a strong person and you will come out a winner regardless. |
