It's peaceful here when you are not. I wonder if your eyes read this-- tonight I'm hoping that they will double vision standing still planting seed's lucidity. I want to cry that it's unfair I'm always left here on the edge but perhaps you've favored me by stealing romance from the bite razor burning turn of cheek-- this flip of finger we call life... I cringe in headlights in the dark cars make the turn just past our house I'm wondering if that is you, did he turn around on whim? deciding you were bored enough to fight another round? Placing bets within my mind will he hit the house again? another car is passing now I sit here silent in the dark as though if I am very still you just might forget me yet. If you can read this? Don't come home. I won't fight you. Not tonight. If you can read this? You've been healed, for when you left you stumbled blind. Now I sit in guilty dark afraid that someday you will spill blood by wheel of Daddy's car, and someone else more innocent than I will be the next roadkill. I shudder as I rub my head-- I do not know a prayer for this... |

Oh no. This isn't sounding so good Karen. My heartbeat reaches out to comfort you. May he come home safely, and your morning be peaceful. |

Karen, But it sounds like prayers are needed. Courage dear friend. Excellent write.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Very good.. But so very sad.. My heart is all tore up. Anyone can write, But only poets can capture the heart. [This message has been edited by Connel (03-08-2003 11:04 PM).] |

Vivid, fearful angst. It's a Zen thing to freeze like a deer and hope it goes away.......sometimes it does. |
