Truth Telling

Quiet tears blur the edges

Though I know I should not cry

Because I chose this.

***

Fireworks light the sky

And shed more light on my life

I see,  nothing’s changed.

***

I learn that glitter

Cannot be reassembled…

The wind scatters it.

***

My skin, tanned and smooth

My hair – lighter and brighter

My eyes still stormy

***

Nothing satisfies

Nothing feels like it’s enough

I must stop wanting

***

So much love wasted

Springing from a well within

Will it soon empty?

  1. I like to think that love is never wasted. Not appreciated maybe but — not wasted. You have a lovely heart and lovely words that speak from that heart…

  2. Thank you so much! :)

  3. I was most touched by the last two. I’ve wanted much and found that which I want and now want no more. It’s a difficult thing to not want again.

    Love is never experienced till you love. So you have to love. . .making it not wasted.
