He writes of her as if he knows her
moon, and songs of love she sings
He speaks as though he's danced below
her arms the comfort of moonbeams
and all this rhyme of twinkly things
her eyes a million lights in sky
as I keep pace of haunting's trace
blowing smoke-rings as he dreams--
for all my words that went unheard
each dawn another tear to cry...
I cannot find capacity,
I can never speak
That word I've heard through tears of burn--
I cannot tell this man "goodbye."

So it is true I make my choice
and where I stand intend to dwell,
No one understands me now...
My preference to stay in Hell.
He says we cannot understand,
but I think that I do
in bondage to decaying past
I closed my eyes to present truth.

Serenity~ I read this a couple times and each time I came away with something new.

This is some charged writing!
Hugs to you,

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.

I'm only sorry that so many of you could relate on a personal level.

But thank you all for reading, and gentle smiles to Logan..GOOD? MOI?

But thanks for your confidence in me!

I was there once. You describe it so deeply and so well that I visited briefly again. You have so much to offer. I appreciate you sharing still. Talent is only one aspect.

Fantastic write here. I think we've all been there, watching someone we like paying attention to another. And you just want to scream HEY, WHAT ABOUT ME!!!

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

That's one of the beauties of your writing, serene one....so many people can relate to the emotions you describe. That's called talent...and a lotta lousy luck!
