The day before the thunderstorm The sky was without greys The mountains loomed and flowers bloomed You spoke to me that day "It's so much fun abusing you I'll tear you 'til the end I'm so much like your enemy Why do you call me 'friend'?" I answered then, "To be alone Is worse than any pain That anyone could pin on me In any loathsome way." The next day, heavens opened Like my shriveled heart inside And down came lightning striking me These wounds will not subside I ask you, "Why's your heart so black Your words so dagger sharp? All fools like me will get this grief With their open, trusting hearts." I'll pray here now beneath the sky I'll pray to be this rain So I can swim away from you And never hurt again... The things you fear are undefeatable not by their nature, but by your approach. -Jewel |

Aah to never be hurt again. Does it really happen? I hope so, I need to believe it does. Can relate wholly with this. Well done ![]() Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. ~Isis~ (Sovereign of the Spirit) |

My only hope is that you could have written this beautiful poem without having to experience the pain that it so perfectly describes. |
