Arson’s Touch there once was aglow in a blazing fire but it turned cold in powered ash biting wounds stung in its dying burn where one fall became another in crash it is getting too easy to get lost and it has become such a crutch how my life and I don’t see eye to eye where what I need is way too much hurt gives way sliding into nothingness realizing I invited myself somewhere so wrong and how much courage does it take to feel when you are where you don’t belong |

how much courage does it take to feel when you are where you don’t belong the feel comes naturally its the courage to overcome the pain of the feel which I relate to having the foundation of a large house set upon my chest daily God I know this awful feeling like an itch you just cannot scratch In my head tonight Helen like the title too like what a fire has done to a house it has done to you kind of like burned to the ground rebuild in order . . . OK I cant stay away from this write: the inviting of yourself oooohh . . . I know Ok I'm leaving now xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (06-23-2003 11:20 PM).] |

Exquisite. These are feelings I have felt when I have fallen in love. So many times it has happened and so many times the familiar feeling of loss and not belonging in this feeling has been my story. Regardless of how and what you felt while writing this, it has spoken to me in a way that can only be described as love gone wrong in the heart. Touching. Deep. Emotional. Simply stated, I loved it.
