In Silence your words bruised me and although it hurt after the blow I pretended not to notice the purple on my heartskin but my very breathing pressed this pain so I said liquid words back that rolled angrily across my lips thick cold ones written in salt to try and equal the weight of yours but I see now in total regret that they hit just as hard as yours for now you answer me …in silence just some words cut out |

You know, I found that to them, it is okay for them to do or say whatever they want to us. But, when we turn around and do what is done to us, to them, it is a whole different story. Not fair, is it? But, they need to know how it feels. |

Silence....so much worse than shouting. When the echoes fade the shout is gone...but silence goes on and on. For more reasons than I can say, I hope it ends for you. /pip/Forum82/HTML/002319.html |

its called character assassination and it does kill written with understanding and regret gripping the reader into a profound swirl of forgiveness |

I, too, always took silence as disapproval, and found it more wounding than word. I keep a light on for you Ladyslick. Someday? We'll meet. But you have to promise not to arrest me. (and I prefer the mink lined cuffs)  love to you |
