Ache inside of me battlescars from the fight of this life I lead No matter how gently I itch and scratch this festering wound I bleed I fear this lucid state of numbness sleep sweet retreat Once now burdened littered with dreams with the devil I would deal to place my feet Beside you f-e-e-e-e-e-l me fall into your embrace erase these thoughts of late Lead me to the river cleanse my soul with your kiss I need something something more than this . . .

You write of the aching and make it hurt so bad. This makes me worry about you...I hope you're ok tweets~ I really liked what you said about sleep, sweet retreat. Some times there's no where else to go! Hugs Suz~ and know that I care. |

If only you knew how I relate to every line...GAWD girl, you write dark with explicit rawness and usually I'm a chatterbox, but, this leaves me speechless. This is a keeper~ Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Oh Littlewing, I feel your pain and I too have wished for a genuine embrace that would remove (or at least lesson) the pain. You described it perfectly. Patricia |

I have discovered something about sleep it took awhile because I too abhorred it you feel like you are missing something or maybe it is the brain spinning too loud  I know another person like that  but I finally figured out what sleep is for oh they tell you it is so the body can rest pshaw it is the reset button for our faulty but perfect emotional memory when we wake up...it is Spring true....there are things that will rush in quick..bad things..powerful things..that swarm to remind us of our place in life but it is degrees even the worst there is that second that little slice of movement where when you wake up you have forgotten... you are born again and all is glistening new dripping with wonder even if but for a second and sometimes if you are lucky it will last all day this is the miracle of sleep use it........don't abuse it  take care you |

its my turn to throw away my pen..I feel these words  If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Oh, Sue, I want to take you out of that place you're in and put that winsome smile back on your pretty face. You are too special to have to suffer so. You are a wonderful communicator of moods and feelings... Loving hugs, Linda |
