I always hated it when bill entered the bar reminding me of Caroline Mary and how she left me for him oh God I've been lonely since her departure after all she promised me love and faithfulness openly in front of others saying she was dedicated to our future using love forever words I'm getting used to the loneliness but I can't get over the regrets the regrets that can't be avoided when love dedicated to another becomes history and all of one's soul is devoured by the heart and lies within that pump cursing the wrong choices life serves up leaving the living corpse cold with reality.... Is is so wrong to want love closure?? Thank you God for giving us love to procreate but why can't your creations live by the morals you created to make love special, a sanctuary for peace of mind with family roots spreading through all of mankind a home for tenderness despite the imperfections that make us wanting......... imperfections that responsible lovers bridge in loving recognition I can't understand why I have to be the recipient of the only tortured past out of the entire affair just because I loved totally without doubt, in innocence......yes, innocence! Don't tell me this is the GD 21st.century! Did someone change the makeup of the heart somewhere along the way? If so, I don't want it! Send my heart to hell and let it burn with Caroline Mary's That way we'll have to accept the responsibility of STAYING TOGETHER! The best teachers have the biggest ears |

ethome...closure seems to elude some of us like grieving a loved one that has passed, and you didn't get to say those final words, or ask the questions that puts to rest those things that kind of hang on making you wonder what did I do, or say, or what did I not do, or not say. I think it's a little harder when the one we grieve is still alive, and refuses to tell. If you ever find the answers to why please pass that on. Good luck to you in finding your answers. I know I had none. Thanks for sharing. I hope it does get better for you. Sending a  I know how much this hurts. SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

Thanks to everyone for the read and the comments. I appreciate them very much . This has nothing to do with me, it's a compilation of observations from the wide picture portraying the overall attitude of complacency when it comes to responsibility of relationships in this world today. Truly sad to see so many hurt because of the spirit of meism that permeates much of today's society. Check out BJ Thomas's song "Old Fashioned Love" Eric The best teachers have the biggest ears |

I'm getting used to the loneliness but I can't get over the regrets the regrets that can't be avoided when love dedicated to another becomes history and all of one's soul is devoured by the heart and lies within that pump cursing the wrong choices life serves up I loved this tug of war you wrote ethome~ it pulls hard at the heart, and then some. |
