Façade’ I met you when I needed you. You are a master with words. I find solace and at times relief, within the trace of each letter. Yet it is not your full time job. A hobby, you would say. A source of release from the demons that follow you. The ones you made and the ones you image I learned I couldn’t help you. Although I long to do so. But it isn’t my job to save you. As if I could. You are smarter than me in most ways. Yet I see the folly of you thinking that this is it. Resignation, behind the busy eyes. Hidden behind the smile presented to most. The shadow of pain behind a slowed beat of a denied heart. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

^*~Susan~*^ WOW, This was beautifully written. I connected with it so much, you have a gift for transcribing emotion into words. ^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^ I loved the lines.. "Resignation, behind the busy eyes." I've seen this hidden retirement before, but you describe it wonderfully.  ^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^ ^*~Kimberley~*^ "Theres no posession, just obsession and growing depression" |
