Shame On You I wish I could say I wished you well and I wish I didn’t have this empty sounding echo inside of me but I’m not as nice as I pretend to be I hope you… hurt and your tears run far less quietly than mine excuse me but I’m not sorry sorry for wanting you wanting you to squeeze in my skin to wear it as tightly as I do so feel the wrinkles stretch like it will burst to know how it is to taste blood on your lips as your heart breaks in liquid hourly moments drowning flooded formed in eyes that cry in moonlight and day light that can not erase lines of lies and the ache of a touch that you will never feel but hangs on the layers of every open pore that no wash or scratch will remove or forget lost in confusion look in the mirror what is it that you see do you see the deceitful liar you are making me believe things that would never be maybe it is me the mississippiness in the woman that I am and the over sensitiveness I possess swept so away in being used in the sheer name of love a shame for me but… shame on you just some words cut out |

Well, I was not sure where this was going at first. But, I understood once I read through. Yes, I think we should let Interloper take care of this. You wrote this with such passion, shame on him. Well done indeed... SG |

Yes, indeed! Shame on him! ~ and on any man who makes his woman feel this way! Gosh, now I want to wring his red neck! lol Ooops, I'm getting carried away by your impassioned write! "maybe it is me the mississippiness in the woman that I am and the over sensitiveness I possess" ~ I'd prefer that that be the truth of the matter! Good vent! Good write! Love & Light, Linda |

I usually like being reminded that you are so passionate. Actually I still do just wish it din't involve pain. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

***nodding*** this is perfect. "Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me." Unfortunately I was saying "shame on me" and got rid of him. A valuble lesson to learned. |

To shame on him for sure, So sick beyond any cure For who could be within your touch And not find the warmth of soul, His soul must not be enough Too small and too cold. Wishing you only the best, Gloom |
