Its been way over a year, since I've heard anything from you, do you ever wonder how I am...or what I'm going thru. Its been even longer since you actually laid eyes on me, Out of sight and out of mind is the way it seems to be. Why is it so damn easy for you to just simply walk away, thru the years you've improved this game, denial is the card you always play. How does one just erase years of the ties that bind, how do you justify ... your leaving this all behind. I'll no longer make an effort or excuses for you, someday you will be alone, then what will you do. I rarely think about you, very much anymore... I guess that means my heart has started closing doors. You made your own choices, I'm not in your plans, can anyone explain it to me...to make me understand. How can you completely pretend I was never here... I've asked some really good questions... could you please answer me ... "mother dear". Janet Marie this ones for you too... "Little SEEESTUR"... love ya. Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... Jackson Browne *I miss you baby... I love you...always. |

Wow. What inspired this? Is it just a story, or is it coming from reality? |

well, the earth moves...I got a reply from you... to answer your q.... this little outburst was inspired by...sorry to say is a reality check...stalk ya later...jm When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger... And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger While the loneliness seems to spring from your life Like a fountain from a pool.

Well, let's not beat around the bush...Sounds like some pretty heavy duty feelings have been stated in this wonderfully powerful poem ....Just too bad you ever had to write this one. Hope she wakes up soon...she's missing precious time with a great daughter....Good Luck Janet.... |

Powerful. True emotion. I really love the ending. Up intil then, I assumed it was for a lover or such. I wish you much strength in working through this. jannel "I'm just saying that we've mistaken one for thousands of words, and for that mistake I've caused you such pain that I damn that word." -10000 Maniacs "Jezebel" |

Well done Janet, I hope she wakes up and realises what a special daughter she has in you.. This worries me, I can't imagine not having my mother's love, and how that would make you feel. I'm sorry. Hope it works out. May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Dear Janet, I agree w/Jannell, I at first thought this was for a man. How much MORE painful it felt to learn who it was really about. Keep up the writing, girl. It's wonderful. Jocelyn |

Oh, how? I could never imagine it. My heart cries for you, Janet Marie. But when the sadness goes away, it is replaced with anger. Do you see the emotions you wreak? Your poetry always does magical things. Chinese fortune cookie say: There are many unexpected & thrilling surprises in store for you. |

Your beauty yet again shines through "As the Moon acsends and the world grows cold So your love comes back to me, forgotten in the days new memories and yet here in my lonely heart, i remember you and all you were and gave me." Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace, of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd |
