Sweet Dove, Frankly, I’m sick of your assumptions, blind blame, feeble integrity, and hypocrisy. This not a battle I intend to “win”, or some half-hearted defense of my Soul’s worth. You could never rip me from my “winds of contentment”… Though I know you would enjoy it. But- I forgive you. Unlike you, I don’t forgive to gain acceptance. Your relentless tide of caustic words stung a wound that was already there. Believe me, I felt the slow decay of Truth in our relationship long before this happened… Even while you were “playing dumb”.. I accepted you without validation even though I was confused and hurt by your increasingly rude and disrespectful behavior. Why do you think I am sad, or “self-defeating”? I feel a loss to explain how overwhelming reality truly is. It’s not my fault that you cannot bring yourself to look in my eyes to find out. I do not think that my belief – that faith and purpose are integral to Life on Earth- is better than any other belief within our collective Life experience. Nor DO I UPHOLD THE IDEA THAT I AM “BETTER” THAN ANYBODY, you doof! I abhor that mentality! You know better than that.. You think this ‘God business’ is some easy little charade I play to look SPECIAL??? HAH! You also know exactly how I feel on that one… You just can’t admit it. How confounded can you get? It is your own insecurity that fuels that notion. Sorry, Maybe I should strut around like a wild, disheveled peacock to get people to remember me in this life. (HAH) Who are you do define me? Why is it that my faith in love is labeled “naïve” while your bloated, ever-imminent autonomy is not? What do you know of empathy? What do you know of Love? Why are you so afraid of me? Why are you so damn greedy? I do empathize with you… and what I feel is an undefined pain shrouded by the vast emptiness of uncried tears. I’m sorry. I do not apologize. I’m just sorry that your resistance to attain any semblance of grace exists… staining to shame. |

painful to read, I liked the "you doof" bit, it made me smile amidst the angst. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
