You go through each day
You argue
You throw hurtful comments like confetti
You don't care where they land....
But......Then....The one you love
The one you get on each other's last nerve with
Becomes ill.
Then.... You think....What if..,
What if something happened
And they were gone???
Then you know....
All the confetti you threw in venomous spews
Should have faded before it ever flew
From your mouth
....be well my love, and may I think before I say things I don't mean.....

Wait....
That ache...
The longing...
What can this be?..
I don't even know you.....
But...
Your words have pierced my soul....
Captured my thoughts...
Awakened a fire...
Led me to where I want to be...
Can we explore ...together

She looked at him with eyes of love...
She saw every ounce of his goodness.

He never thought he was good enough,
And self destructed every day....

His words and actions ripped both of them apart...

She couldn't save him,
So had to save herself.....

Love was not enough.

Solitaire
Is no fun
When you're truly
Alone.......

You sit in the other room
Speaking to yourself
About how terrible I am----
Calling me names under your breath.

Your words bounce off the walls of this place,
But no longer pierce my heart.....
It is finally Enough.

I have finally
Given myself permission
To move on....

Finally realizing
I am Enough

The sound of silence surrounds her....
The crash of breaking hearts
       The scream of a love dying
The cry of tattered bonds
        To watch it all come tumbling down
Engulfs the entire space
         With an air of finality and new beginning......
