I know this ache,
lingering to turn
thoughts dark

shades of black
shroud the light
from hearts
cold as stone

seeking warmth...

in reflections
of emerald eyes,
yesterdays bound
by betrayals of truth

silent screams shatter
hopes and dreams

piercing the silence
while trying to place
jagged edges
back together again

to fit
the imperfections
of me.

I shivered once
you broke into my soul
the damage is done now
I'm out of control...
How did you get to me? {Wynona}

Reminded me of a bible verse...something about building an alter out of the pieces of a broken heart...

enjoyed it.

This poem reflects the worst kind of pain...My heart goes out to you...I think the imperfections are not within you but are within someone else...**big big hugs**

The elusive missing piece is over rated, it is our imperections that make us unique.
To hell with what anyone else thinks!

I make no excuses.....

It's always so good to read you, Donna~

I have lots of personal knowledge about imperfections.

It's a good thing most people don't dwell upon all the ones I see in the lame ME, stacked up like a mountain to the moon, for if you did?
sheesh, never mind what scene that might be

thank God, or whomever, but most everyone here seems to accept me as I am...
another lump of misshapen unbaked clay

thanks for this chance for me to come clean
