I've never read the books he told me to for I read, to forget him, where I lay The unfinished pages, that are yet to meet my eye will remain closed untouched beauty I watch their still spines lean upon eachother the way we did, when our words matched Every one marks a moment, first christmas last 'just because', each he scrawled upon opening page you have my heart Perhaps I re write him softer than he was in reality, he is now the blemish tear upon favourite page, now I cannot read nor see him, but gifts of print remain, as he leaves me blank Instant karma's gonna get you.

"Perhaps I re write him softer than he was in reality," ~ hold that thought, Precious Gem! "he is now the blemish tear upon favourite page, now I cannot read nor see him, but gifts of print remain, as he leaves me blank" ~ You are not blank! It is just the bad memories leaving and freeing up your mind, heart, and spirit for something--or someone!--new and better for you! I know you are hurting, Dear One, but truly--"and this too shall pass"... Lindy P.S. Your gorgeous smile belies your sorrow. |

I watch their still spines lean upon each other the way we did, when our words matched ========================= oh damn girl...that analogy is achingly awesome!! love this whole inspire and employ of metaphor, personifi and analogy... you tied it all together so poetically perfect with the book/reading/written word theme and the bittersweet emotions express....very cool write gemma-girlie When was the last time you felt this high, |

That was simply beautiful and touching. Bitter-sweet and so human. Thank you for making (and sharing) something so warm and touching as this piece. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Life is one big book club, dearest friend, you should let your heart choose what wants to be read and never should it throw required or expected guidelines or assignments! (sigh) I send many angel hugs your way, sweet friend, know we are all here to help your heart heal, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gemma, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
