Trade-Off I lay here, not understanding as I write this letter in mind false reflections fogging, becoming bitter-kind I lay here, wondering with this empty soul why these shadows my heartbeat stole I see her there, in weakened state as I run things through to the end words never enough, for a life to amend I lay here, pensive smoothing wrinkles from mind longing for tomorrows trade-off wish to find I see through darkened glasses swollen eyes still shedding feel whispered voice returning, the letting go of real I lay here miles apart eaten inside out gaps in thought too painful no one to hear me shout I see my heart, its pounding force As sorrow beats, despair words will never be enough, the silence I must bear I lay here still in wait shaking, silenced touch wondering tomorrow's bring in aftermath of such... "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Hi Keth...guess it's this waiting thing that gets to be so bad...not knowing if anything can be done and not knowing if it will cure or just prolong... I am there in thought with you... hugsss M |
