I watched in horror as you slipped all the way down. I didn’t help you. I didn’t even try. I sit and did nothing I couldn’t even cry. I watched in horror as you lay in pain. I hurt, but not for you, as you. I felt it, through you. I couldn’t move. My thoughts inextricable, intense flashes of color took the place of emotions that I couldn’t understand, or maybe that I didn’t want to understand. I wanted so badly to solace you, to hold you, to bleed with you. But I couldn’t. I wanted so badly to run screaming into the safety of my car, drive away and never look back. But I couldn’t. I sat paralyzed, my mouth was dry, my eyes full of tears that would never get the chance to run down my cheek. I did nothing. NOTHING!!! |

this made me think of how a mother would want to take the pain away from her child. you wrote this well, full of emotion. keep posting. “A single choice can build destinies, or destroy them.” |

there was some very strong emotion in this piece and i thank you for sharing. i enjoyed it. perhaps when you have a chance you could check out the prose forum. you might enjoy yourself there, as this is rather borderline. but good write!! welcome to passions!! /jen/ i'm so bitterly disappointed. betty, i think it's time you leave now. |
