A lesson
in your eyes
I learned,
in an instant's glare.


A question
in your eyes--
discerned...
lack of me in there.


Vacancy.
Expectancy.
Too dark to see
in such spare glare.
Truancy
of lack of me;
no notice
that I am not there.


I'd call, "cut"--
if I called shots--
a 'rider' written--
I forgot...


Stipulations
(learned from you)
and fact that I
am human too.


Don't do this...
Don't you sing to tides
already rising much too high.


Don't do it...
shoreline much too slim--
invite tsunami for a swim.



If all is gone
then let me know.
I will pack most meagerly.
I'll trudge through years
of memories' snow,
each step, a journey
back to ME.

Wow, this is some powerful pain and frustration. Hugs to you, sweet sister. I'll light an extra candle for you, and chant a special mantra of serenity for serenity.

Your words are extremely powerful.. I can relate to the emotion that you have so beautifully expressed here.

Serenity~
Good to see you~

'If all is gone
then let me know.
I will pack most meagerly.
I'll trudge through years
of memories' snow,
each step, a journey
back to ME.'


May the sun catch you wearing a smile left by the moon~

Happy New Year wishes to you~
*Hugs*

Serenity - I love how you described love not being felt by the other person through seeing it in their vacant eyes.  Very sad and very good.

======================================

well me thinks these lines are tattoed on me forhead by now...
you do know the mirrors are blinding right?
whose turn is it to clean them anyway?
ahh to H with it...lets go drink some rhyme water and find a pizza boy *wink*
(just trying to make you smile baby)
we can fake those well too cant we ..sigh
heart-hugs me twin
me

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through
there comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking...
I passed that point long ago

serenity -
"each step, a journey
back to ME."

And each step is a journey back to ME. As you have so well expressed...
