I can not pretend today. I can't imagine you're still here. But somehow I can't comprehend a world without you near. I look the same-- my voice unchanged-- my days go on in the same way... But only half of me remains in pantomime of yesterday. Solaced words are meaningless, although intent is kind. I pray to dream a dream of you-- to see you one more time. And yet I lie awake at night afraid that I might sleep. I fear I will dream dreams of you, and wake again to weep. I won't say goodbye again. I can't leave you twice. I sleep-walk through a day's pretend, and bury you each night. * * * *this was was written in grief, so I repost for Larry of course...I hope it's not too morbid. I do everything dark...even symapthize* [This message has been edited by serenity (05-21-2002 06:20 AM).] |

Celeste, a loss is so hard to bear isn't it?? I don't think I'd worry too much about this being on the dark side. I find it heart revealing as I read it along with your explanation. I enjoyed the thought very much and know where it comes from. |
