                                            When Is Enough?


haunting,
      old words come
            around      again
                                        inflict
                     themselves,
                                                    wound.
                                 was the
                                                                  harm,
                                           the fun of
                                                                             hurting
                                                       not
                                                                                           enough
                                                                   for you
                                                                                                        then?
                                                                                when is
                                                                                                                    enough?
                                                                                              when?

I'm a bit dizzy from the read though.

Is it not wonderful when we can use our poetry to reach out and touch someone as you have so caringly just done?

It's sad old mate when folk get some kind of thrill out of hurting others, especially when it continues.  Just when is enough?

Yes ~~ it isn't my way to intrude, but there are times when a man simply must speak. I love this place and at least some of the people in it ~~ and there's enough hurt given accidentally, that to do it intentionally and for pleasure, simply shouldn't be done by anyone here.

JaimeOhJaime~
Thank you ... there are those who are simply
insensitive to the senitivity of others ...
sadly, they read, see themselves and still choose to adhere to their regiment of stirring the pot ... knowing not (or maybe they do know and get some sort of sick satisfaction out of it) that the wounds run deep~

You are pretty gosh-darned dynamic at being a 'FIRST-friend-AID kit'~

*Huglets* to you~

You know, I don't know who "needs to read this"
but I imagine that person knows.

Very expressive writing.

Jamie darling man, I get in here so rarely these days that I don't know anything about what has gone before, but whatever the story behind it this is a superb piece. The presentation is outstanding and I really felt the power of the word.

Well done my sweet friend, take care
Love and warm stuff

Whoever walked over your feelings with no regard or someone elses feelings. This has, in a kindly fashion, put them in their place.

Ooops! Disregard my previous reply, PLEASE!

I just reread your poem and this is now my reply!

~ "For whomever this was intended, I sure hope that they read it!"

I think that your posting of the poem was a caring gesture for the one for whom you are feeling compassion.
