Just when I thought I knew it all, along came you and showed me differently....
There are times, quite often, when I need my head pulling out of my butt
This is not one of them :)
You will just have to bear with me while I work through some stuff here.............
Writing from when I was away....
All I touch here is sadness
Walked a million miles with sand between my toes
I threw you to the wind
All those you’s
Each and every one of you
Who I have loved and left
When the disappointment of life got too much to bear
and you couldn’t carry me
and I didn’t want you to
I threw you all to the wind
But you, damn you
The wind just keeps blowing you back again
I watch the sea roil
And it matches my stomach now
I pick up shells and throw them away for not being perfect
Like I threw all of you,
like you have thrown me
Is that why I am walking here alone now?
I ache here
And I am full to the brim
I need to empty
And I don’t know how
Why don’t you come?
I write your name in the sand
Throwing you into the wind again
And ducking for cover this time
You, all you are is an idea, a concept, a wish....
Me, I gave you far too much power.....
all I touch here is sadness

I wish I could ease your pain dear friend. But no one can.
Like Angelique said to me when I was going through the worst. "When in hell march straight through."
Love Renee xoxo
Yes....march straight through, like it!
I wonder....if seeing your emotions in these words, brings you some kind of clarity? I wonder...
Actually Bogey, yes it does, very much so. I have moved someplace else each time and am starting to think I might need to be journalling nightly with all of this for that very reason.

There is so much here to read -- this post and the ones below -- it will take me a little time to let all of your words sink in...
Oh, that image of the wind blowing the sand back...
And the line about giving someone far too much power --
very powerful words you lay down here.
Such a beautiful woman you are. How much I hope for you to find love and peace...
