Not too much time, No. Not much now. So now, we laugh at everything. Everytime, we hug goodbye, we study eyes in dirge's sing and smile them into lullabyes. This may be the last we touch-- this, this thing, we don't discuss. This may be the last goodbye. So let us laugh--Enough of Cry! Let's just talk about the day... "normal"-keep the 'strange' at bay. I hate to shut the door behind - reluctant twist of wrist in wind. I hate to turn and lock the screen. These days I hate most everything. I do not want to be so strong. I want home. And home? Is gone... And every word I yearn to say, abandons me- I whisper "hey" My Dad--returning gaze to me, sad eyes in apology, I, in him, and him in me... and HE tells ME--to be strong. *repost for my Dad...and for myself...miss you Dad.* |

Oh, this is so touching and beautiful and painful to read. Yes, he lives in you, and as trite as it sounds, I am sure that he is in heaven smiling down and kissing your cheek as we speak! Although, each case is different, this reminds me of what I went through with my Gramdma's last months. Will a hug help you? I hope so, I am very sorry...I wish that I could say more. Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

*sigh* heartbreakingly beautiful. I am sure he feels what your heart says to him. This brings tears to my heart for your loss and loneliness. *BIG HUGS* Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

SerenitySweetie, this has got to be THE MOST heart-embracing poem I've ever read by you and gosh, I cannot hold back the tears in my eyes as your poem purely touched my soul... Your writing is exceptional! Hugs2uAlways *~coco~* |
