So you think you know these thoughts I have
cute little subject lines make for great gossip
and I just think you're overwhelming yourself
inventing things to keep you occupied.
Perhaps I am a little angry here,
even a little hurt by your unwillingness to reach out for real,
but I suppose its God telling me I have enough friends
because you never took the time to speak more than once or twice.
Why should I care, after all, that you have never taken the time
to do more than assume so many things about my thoughts
and who I really am.
Why should it bother me so that you can probably never be
someone I call a friend?
Every moment another human connects with another
and drives a distance afterwards is time wasted.
Another chance left unrecognized
another something great left for dead
on the highway of human rejection and insincerity.
I never asked you to open your life to me
and I never asked you to listen to mine.
Forgive me for assuming we could get along fine
no matter the circumstances.
Perhaps my hope for humankind is a little warped
from your view of the world.
I never wanted to be your candle or your light.
So why can't you come to me for clarity?
Why hide behind these zipping connections
if you need to know things about me?
Why not be considerate enough to ask me what you need to know?
And whether I could be honest with you or acknowledge what you asked,
I truly don't know,
but if you could give the consideration of making your complaints to me,
I would indeed give it my all to be as decent.



Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me since you've never  stretched out your heart sincerely

Quite the rant. I hope they see it. Losing a friend like this is no loss. I've no doubt you have lots of real friends

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

WOW!!!! If they don't get the idea that they should come to you than there is something very wrong with their view of things. Very well said with power and clarity. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Tracey,
Thanks for reading. Yes, your correct. I have alot of real friends, but I do hate to waste human contact of any kind. *sigh* This wasn't a friend lost. Its more like a person who could have been a friend being too judgemental and cowardly for their own good..but the loss is theirs, although I'm no prize.  

Startime,
Thank you. Sadly, I don't think they'll get it, but perhaps its for the best anyway.

(sigh) Oh Jenn, I'm so sorry to feel this aching behind your words; if he can't feel for you and be frank and sincere with how you feel, you don't deserve that person's friendship. (sigh) You are loved by many, sweet friend, as me and everyone here loves you so very much! (sigh) We are all here for you whenever you need someone to talk to! (kiss on cheek) Very wonderfully expressed, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Very open and honest, Jenn. I certainly hope this is read by the one who needs to read it the most. It is sad when an opportunity to connect honestly with another gets lost in a back alley.
