Silence I have learned can be blessed relief As opposed to the nights I pull the covers up on you After dressing you and putting you to bed I want to scream at the injustice of a cyclic life Not understanding why you are doing these things To us, to others, to yourself This hurts much worse than before I expected more from you I thought you understood that I would never live That way again Yet you push me into a corner and I will respond I may cry forever over the loss of who you were But I cannot live with the who you have become Not being who you need to be for her Taking the chance of her seeing and feeling what you did It’s that knowledge and That same silence that breaks me As I cry tears long restrained for your sake For whatever my part is or was For not knowing how to save you from yourself "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

It’s that knowledge and That same silence that breaks me As I cry tears long restrained for your sake For whatever my part is or was For not knowing how to save you from yourself  you can not save someone who doesnt want help.....heart hugssss indeed you are full with knowledge....  ~~**~~ |

I understand your pain~ i have cried many of the same tears~ I really liked this, I think it is one of your best, filled with raw, truthful emotion, real! Hugs ~ARh "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away." |

"I may cry forever over the loss of who you were But I cannot live with the who you have become..." These two lines are SERIOUSLY great! |

Dear Susan, this hurts really. When kisses do not heal anymore, only tears bring some relief. Deep and painful. Love and hugs. Margherita |

 (big angel hugs) Oh Susan, this made me tear up as I felt this sort of pang ever so much reading, recognizing how there are sooooooo many who struggle to summon the will to find that faith, that confidence to pick themselves up again, and when we give so much only to see it backfire that all we can honestly do is cry to at least show that they are cared for ever so much! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is a most wonderful poem, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

truth can set one free. what is sad is when one is trying to do better. and so much opposition keeps one down. not allowing one to be themselves. but people some how must do all they can to look better so by keeping another down. placing their faults on them. never dealing with their own issues is so sad. honesty is so important My spirit will rise |

Simply saying, your posts are from the heart. Powerfull and full of honesty. Sometimes you just have to sit back and watch, as much as it can hurt sometimes. |
