. . . Broken If it is true that sticks and stones may break your bones But names will never hurt you, Then why am I encased in this invisible body cast, simply because you tenderly called me by her name instead of MINE? . . . Chris Barker ~~~~ |

masher, player, I have no patience for men of this kind....they don't care about anyone else but themselves....he called you by her name???? He called me and her name was on my caller ID? Shock, hurt, and then anger at myself for believing...giving us another chance was nothing more then a walk down a very painful past, which I might add, will soon be behind you...You are a dear sweet poet, soul....someday you will meet the man who will make both of you whole. Love and hugs...keep writing and I'll keep reading. |

Karilea, Ethel & LeeJ - Fear Not! lol. This was just a fantasy write. But, in reality, I wish that this was "all" that has happened in my past. Hugs for your concerned comments.  Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf. -Tagore |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Chris, I'm so relieved to hear this isn't related to you in particular, but it breaks my heart to know this is true in too many other womens lives, dearest friend! (sad sigh) Every woman should feel special, and it DOES NOT mean every man should betray a matrimonial vow and lust after others, I simply believe one man, one woman, one love! (wipes tears) You speak with truth and heart, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, 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 |

Sticks and stones may break bones, but those bones do heal. Words, I think are even worse, because sometimes a person never heals from the words that are said. |

Oh, and to add insult to injury, he kept referring to my sister--with her sister's name! Oh, well, that's all behind me now! Anyone that I have dated since, remembers my name--and that of my sister!  Linda |

Excellent write, my friend... and yup... sometimes you get heartily sick of certain names... simply because of who's saying them. |

Chris, I’m so glad that this didn’t happen to you! It is true, that the tongue is mightier then the sword. One single word, possessing more lethal power then the sharpest and deadliest dagger. If given the choice, most would choose a busted arm, over a broken heart any day. I hope that any wounds from your past have been able to heal properly And that your heart is always filled sincere joy, and loving affection. Thanks for this! I think that your sincere words helped mend some broken hearts today! Richy |
