Never Just Right The clock ticks in my head telling me soon it will be over and all the wondering can stop. My skin will peel me new, slough off those edgy feelings of never again, as my phone rings silent and the makeover begins and I surrender myself to hands that mold waiting for the tug of heart to untangle its twisted feel. I catch my teeth grinding my thoughts shooting the pain until I hear its memory binding me awake into a yesterday's fog again. The missed of you, the naked unaccounted for, deepening my vision until I can sculpt every harsh word into an artform awaiting vandalism. How could my eyes have been so shortsighted? How could they see reason and lose the within? Hearts are never logical, they image consult, eyes doing the work of the mind, the mind debating rationality and then falling prey to opportunity, and winsomeness. I dance to that beat, oftened unforgiven, too slow for some too fast for others, never just right... ~A~ [This message has been edited by Alicethruglass (08-11-2003 11:48 AM).] |

"My skin will peel me new, slough off those edgy feelings of never again, as my phone rings silent and the makeover begins . . ." "The missed of you, the naked unaccounted for, deepening my vision until I can sculpt every harsh word into an artform awaiting vandalism." What can I say? I should say nothing, and only admire the way you put words together. Always look for you here . . . s.a.g. |
