3am3am again, its cold under the blankets. I contemplate getting up as I usually do, catching a buzz but it is cold, too cold even for bumblebees. I am tired, I wonder what it is all about *apart from being guardians for our children of course* The pain is searing from the ground up, it has to reach my heart *of course, this is why it hurts so much* I understand in an instant, you just wanted the pain to stop, like i do now. In a ball under the blanket, with only this hint of life radiating from my palm, bright too bright yet, I continue, it is better than cold - where did all the warmth go? At what point did it stop? The chemicals have run dry, the last tear drop, cold dead night Autumn night, my muse my lover. Cold under these sheets *the warm side taken up by my child* my faithful cat on my pillow gives me no solace, only more pain, I know he will die soon. Then, even the comfort of his heart beating softly, his paw holding mine, will be gone.. all of it gone! I reach out to you far away, I know you feel me, hear me, as I do you. For the first time I feel alone, Miss Independent everything is fine, soldier on gone! I want to feel warm blood in my veins, not cold, not pain. This wounded healer cries in vain. No point in wondering why, this must be how it feels. I understand why you wanted to die

Bells and whistlesMops, thistle, bells and whistles; *make this, poet.* / With circus flair, out of fur and shabby things... _make this._

;-)She collected men like hats, she would try them on see if they fit *alter her personality for a day or two* then, they sat on the heads of old teddy bears gathering dust.. One day she was a cowgirl, another a musketeer, an adventurer and just for something different *she covered her head completely*

In my darkest hourIn my darkest hour I think of you, a time when i could love like a child.. I did not know that then *sad that I know it now* In my darkest hour it is always you that I grieve for, my shame my childhood.. I can never bring myself to tell you, I have never loved another the same *I have built walls around me, I shoot suitors down with arrows straight from my heart.. In my darkest hour I think of you, the one that kept me safe* years have passed.. I tried calling you once but I could never tell you while you were with another *I wanted you to have everything that I couldn't give you* In my darkest hour it is your name on my lips *I breathe you through my tears* I could never hurt you again, so I stay silent and alone
