I dreamt of her, stopping by, a thorn in my side, friendly to a fault and me taking it in. I can't control them, what my mind tries to view in reruns wishing them to be forgotten, as much of my life can be, so easily. I can't picture him though. He is more real to me but becomes a blur when darkness settles in. And in the morning only the empty bottles and cans on the pavement edge, are proof that he even exists. I see his sympathy for others, for some-times friends who use him, and wonder why I receive none after all these years and all I allow. It is pitiful, the life I lead, the life he leads, the life she leads...and I just wish I had never seen her, met her, so that my dreams can once again be free.

Pain is evident. Regrett is too. Sorrowful poems always make my heart sting in a way that is oddly pleasing. It just hurts me so good. I feel more alive and want to cry, but never do. Only friends can call out my tears with their caring "let it all out"s and everything I held in disintigrates after the tears stop flowing. I hope you can let it all out if you need to. |

Brings to mind the girlfriend my ex brought to my graduation party. Making a long story short...I wish she had been able to keep him, after all... Where's my doll? |

past pain and sorrow and the only regret is I didn't tell her off from the beginning... no tears of loss...just needing an end so I can have a new beginning... Thank you for the response, SWH and Karilea..I am getting close, very close to getting back on track with the crafts..and your doll M |

It is a rude awakening and harsh reality, when even our best isn't good enough. Aw Maureen, you write so eloquently, with such real feeling. Love ya, Lady~ |

Empty bottles and cans When bagged are taken by the garbage man, To recycle somewhere to be reused Taken away from you so no longer abused, And can control the waking time And dreams can again fill your mind Gloom |

A good write on a bad situation, one I know all to well myself...one most seem to know, sadly....Those pains never go away, but they can be subdued at times, with the help of others.... E S West "always be true to SELF, and follow your heart.." |

Very sad. If we all could turn back and change things about our lives, we really would not be living, would we? |
