I wake alone, not bound by fears Go to the mirror, scan for tears They are not there - neither is hope I'm not alive; I simply cope. My friends are happy; I don’t care There's nothing in me I can share So many things I need to do My only focus - getting through My heart is emptied of its pain But nothing filled it up again Tiny blue pills make my world nice But *I* am missing - that's the price. I don't sit contemplating death But there's no joy in taking breath Filling lungs without resistance Is not life, it's just existence. |

My Dear Belle of the South, I am giving you a magic lace handkerchief that I tatted myself from fairy silk. It is to soak up your tears of sadness and turn them into tears of joy...  I am so moved by your apparent state of despair that I am flying down south and wrapping you in my loving wings. ~ and then we are going to talk girlfriend! ~ over a fresh brew of angel dew! I'm a comin', my pet! Hang onto to that proverbial knot! Help is on the way! ~ but if I get lost, which is a distinct possibility because of my recent discombobulatory experience, send me an email! Loving, comforting hugs, EA |

Ruth? (ykikykik) "When your own emptiness is all that's getting through There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking I passed that point long ago ... Now I'm sitting here wondering what to say (That you might recognize) Afraid that all these words might scare you away (And break through the disguise) No one ever talks about their feelings anyway Without dressing them in dreams and laughter I guess it's just too painful otherwise Now you go and pack your sorrow Trash man comes tomorrow ... Leave it at the curb and we'll just roll away." excerpt "the late show" from Late for the Sky Jackson Browne |
