A Woman Stands Rusting you continue your endless search and your turn at a second chance with empty mirrored image beauties who are willing to take you only to the edge but never to the center they are looking for your secrets here, I have them and know each one I live them in daily grinding moments I look you straight into your eyes and listen to you pick off the lint of each of their flaws I watch quietly in silence as you have questioned me about each of your redeeming qualities and the only flaws I plainly see in you are fear and pride so easily women hand over themselves to your unaltered seeming grace and face and all I have to offer you is...words thick skinned scars of sin and emotions put together with thin stretched stitches and a courage filled heart that beats on un-faltered here stands a woman where a child once stood who can not teach you to feel or change the face of the past but who is unafraid of tomorrow but life is getting shorter by each passing moment and I find it difficult to continue to hold my breath waiting for you to believe |

"so easily women hand over themselves to your unaltered seeming grace and face and all I have to offer you is...words thick skinned scars of sin and emotions put together with thin stretched stitches and a courage filled heart that beats on un-faltered" The flow of this (and all your words) is really brilliant. I feel your pain in some way. .........hugs, jo |
