Some days I can't get away from it. Thoughts, that singe the edges of my heart, came to my door tonight when you approached wanting resolution, but acknowledging blame, mine, never yours. Sometimes I would like to block you out, pretend you never existed, squeeze you into that part of my mind where I hold the unimportant, but your sting can never be denied. Words, we had many, mine in silent stare, yours in echoed yell. I cringed at the selfishness, teared at the childishness, name calling allowing the hurt in me to push you away. Finally I am alone, removing two weeks shy of a year from my journaled life. A year that held me back, bathed me in illness, preventing the new seeds I planted from fertilizing into the flower that should have been ready to blossom by now. I long for a good nights sleep, my own bed waiting, no dreams to twist and turn me, only the warmth of my quilt to wrap me in comfort as I once again pull it close to my cheek to try and remember what a soft touch really is. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

M, when you write like this I am taken back to a land of "what if" and you always help me to see clearly again. *HuGGLeS of healing* L, Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

To think I almost missed this jewel... Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

This is so damn sad it makes you want to cry.....why why why is it that all the things we work for seem to erode our love and trust! |
