I have decorated words
for you
and trees of christmas
where
you will never gaze again


I have leaned upon newborn
January frost
waiting for your return
giving up
so many hours for cold

Walking upon cobbled stone
unbalanced underfoot
shamelessly
let me down that day
when I needed you


Umberella shield
against spring rain
nothing I said
could make you see
the downpourcreated

When your words
no longer move
the heart and mind
of whom it always did
that's when you know


The summer gold
we anticipated long
was given to a dream
of someone else
I believe
.
.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

Thankyou my pretties!

Today has been spent realising I could talk non stop forever at him, and my words would not move a muscle of emotion.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

Then all you can do, Gemmy, is talk and listen to yourself.  And keep writing.  Oh man, it's so difficult, isn't it?  ~K~

~ Oh, gem drop, this is achy breaky heart stuff! You may not feel like shining right now, but your writing is brilliant!

This is beautiful, though it aches..
Unfortunately, I'm drying tears because of the words.. But, you're that good at this..

Which is good.. I just
know how you feel..

Gemma, even though you're sad, you still
shine like our gems in our PIP treasure chest.......

Your pen has painted such an ache... It hurts too much to be called beautiful... but it's excellent!
