What's the point of running forward these days if I'm only going to run back wards the next days Away from him. He was a tantalizing mystery. Now I just see his violence. How very unlike we are. I just want to withdraw myself from him for fear his ways will seep in to mine. But I already know what's happen ing. They already are. Rest in peace, pieces of me. I'm already losing myself. Piece by piece the beautiful original m e disappears with no ** pe of returning. Ever again. Love, -S
