"Midnight Every Morning..."

This came after reading and "feeling" a poem by HelpMe

called "Missin' You".

Sometimes it seems

We aren't "allowed" -

to care anymore

- doesn't it?  But we do…

we always …do.

 

 

"Midnight Every Morning…"

 

 

Takin' back don't work,

no way in hell.

 

How do you take back -

looks,

shares,

just feeling  …right…

thoughts - those mind dreams

that just …happen all on their own.

My …no, our     now,

favorite song, flavor, movie,

place, time of day

scent

the FEEL of e v e r y t h i n g -

changed…

 

it’s all …changed.

 

How do you forget

knowing where you want to be

how you want to feel

wanting tomorrow …finally.

 

Dealing - yeah, with

- missing

- the hurting

- the anger

…the silence - when it’s so loud your heart

doesn't beat - just thuds

behind your eyes

over and over and over again

and the pressure builds and builds

til the hurt is alive and so filling

you're choking… and crying

…crying…

inside

where you don't let  - ANYONE -

see      or in.

 

Yeah, "I guess I'm still

…missing you."…          ***

is one real

…real

part… of being me.

Wow. How amazing. No take backs. That's for sure.

You have a way with your words that keeps me hanging on every syllable, heart pounding in anticipation... I feel so deeply immersed- its like I am drowning, lost to the moment. I love this...

Hauntingly spot on my friend.... I couldn't have explained it better... You are so talented and I feel honored to have the pleasure to read your work... You have made me laugh, you have made me cry, you have made me burn, you have made me sigh....Oh my goodness--- I rhymed and didn't even try to.....

Very intense Chris and intimate, right down to the flavor and the blood. I like it.

Some one close to me discovered betrayal ..
She cried everyday and acted out the anger
She will never be the same..
A pain worse than death..inside
It's been two years.. and he left the other one
She smiled a little when she heard
Then cried for his loss.. sigh
And I cried too.. where no one saw
Because there were children involved
And I love them all..

there are some things in life that are.. shared.. heart to heart... "universal" if you will... my emotional ON/OFF switch never seemed to work quite like it was suppose to.. that place where no one else can see... is still soggy...

Can't take it back, any of it...so heavy and shuddering at times...guess catching a breath is sometimes an answer...perhaps xx

Sounds like the day the earth stood still... the birds didn't know what to make of it so they just kept on sleeping. Somebody should give the ball a kick, send it spinning again, give things a chance to get back to some semblance of normal. Nice one, Chris.

Drama is a human invention... and yet ask ANY woman about her "first" love. The earth does stand still... often.
