Mad

Mad is a useful word. Mad at life, mad in life.

Numb and Number

When does it get easier? Does it get easier? Would it help if I believed in God, heaven and hell?

Eye-candy Books

I have read more books in the last 2 months than in the last year. They are nothing, just something to keep me from thinking, wishing too hard. Yet even the eye-candy books have a thing or two that resonate through me.

"Everyone wants to protect me (lately). My parents did too. You think if I don't hear bad things, then they won't exist anymore. But you know what? They DO exist, and I DO end up hearing them. And I wish to God that I could have heard them from the people I loved first."


Sigh.....

Just One

Just one kiss
to say
hello and
goodbye

Just one kiss
to last a lifetime
for both

Just one kiss
closing
one life
to begin
another

Triggers

Digging myself from this very, deep dark hole is not easy. Two shovels full out and 3 in. Before I long I will have dug my way to China.

Hard truths

Hard truths can be dealt with, triumphed over, but lies will destroy your soul.

Wishing

I wish you had told me
then I could have loved you
not just a child's love
for her mother

But

the love one has
for someone who
saved them and
loved just because.

I wish you had told me
I could have told you it was
worth more than birth,
it was love

that tied us
not accidental birth
but acceptance
and love.
