Reading old love letters forgetting to believe you never loved me my throat tightens I swallow hard…resist distract myself from the memory to sleep with your love, again only to wake without it, still would drive me mad survival demands I believe you never loved me. |

"survival demands I believe you never loved me." I am nearly speechless after reading this line, Duncan. It says so much. |

In truth we will all only believe that which we can live with, is something I decided lately. You express that well. Nicely done, Duncan. |

Duncan - You may hear that because somebody else denies the truth. What better way to illustrate a total lack of character than to say, "Sure, I said I love you, but I lied and used you instead."? The poem is well written. |

*sigh* I know the feeling....we must convince ourselves that there was never love on their part and then the pain is not so great for otherwise the confusion and not understanding can drive us crazy. **big hugs**  My heart goes out to you, Duncan. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

The truth is indeed too realistic and hard to accept. But it is better to accept the truth and go on with our lives, than to be in denial, eluding ourselves into weaving our dreams with the lies. _,,,^.^,,,_ |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Duncan, this is so so sad, my heart cries out to your lost love and pray with all my heart you have found true new love to replace the pain and erase the lies of those love letters! (sad sigh) Our hearts go out to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Duncan, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Every once in a while I stumble across such well written pain. It's hard to comment on, saying it's good. But this is very good. Here's too less pain in the world. |

Duncan, sorry you are feeling enough pain to write this. You know, I can't decide what hurts more, to think they never loved you, or that they did, and somehow you or they ruined it. All of it hurts.. You wrote this well. Sandra |
