I've twisted myself inside out and still I am greeted with insensitivity, making way for a diet of starvation where the only feedback is the unseen, unheard battle, contemplating goodbye. There is no victory in honesty, no winning bound by fears and when you can crowd yourself in aloneness reality becomes altered until there is no saving the stolen moments in the trappings of need. My words were never mightier than the sword, my longings lies told to myself. And whatever ruled the heart, was blind faith in yesterday, as I hide my feelings in possibilities that I watch slip away. The windows are streaked in tear thoughts, the night dragging on while I pound out the words that rain down on me to wilt my limbs and leave me limp, fatigued and weakened from struggling to survive, from want and need that seems so easy to ignore. No more nakedthoughts to rise and dress the morning wake, no more smiles to script my days. Another chapter is to close upon me as the cold winds blow and the warmth takes its leave and I, I take my simply complex life in its stride through to the other side of that mirror relinquishing my hold on all and any left behind. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

abandoned by someone, but not lost to ourselves .... I sometimes hold memories closer than heart. and there shall never be a forgotten nakedthought!!!! (take one of my smiles) (take two, they're free) |

And yet the things you say, even the hard things, are true and good. |
