like a beautiful flower that is unaware of its beauty. It blossoms and brings joy and beauty – it is colourful and scented like a fragrance from heaven. But you don’t really know that, do you, when you are young?
And then you age. You see youth eluding you. You see that you are no longer [...]

the mess that is he
Posted in love on February 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I am soooo angry at him, and yet so not angry too. More so at myself – that I let my guard down and fell for a guy who I know is a total mess. I knew it then I know it now. He is a darling – a messed up, kind, misguided soul. [...]
i am not broken

he broke something
in me.
i stoop
to collect the shards
of a heart,
of a vow,
of extinguished passion,
of brittle love,
of honey gone bitter.
and yet i know
he did not break me.
i stand tall
still.
i am not
broken.
i would’ve loved you anyway

Yes, I would have. I would not have run as I thought I would if things went back. No. I would have loved you anyway.
i don’t want this pain

long forgotten
the anguish
of abandonment,
betrayal,
of bright tomorrows,
of vows meant to be
always broken
or never meant to be;
of nows
only.
little choice do we have
little control
as we find ourselves
ensnared once again
by the same
words and cards..

I just realized that we are in a ‘Hallmark world’. Emotional words written for us and we just repeat them robotically. Do we really feel them? We are supposed to. That was the whole point. But do we?
I distinctly remember the cards from my ex-husband – and that was before he cheated on me [or [...]
don’t let him waste your time..

the bitch in me
Posted in age on February 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
There was a time in my life when I was a bitch. I knew no man could leave me. I left them. I knew I could have any man I wanted – if I wanted. I did not use those super powers of youth often, but I used them still. As I matured I [...]
he sent me an email
Posted in love on February 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
telling me yes, he knows, he just ’shut down’ and it wasn’t ‘fair’ to me. He said ‘but when we were together I enjoyed your company.’
Enjoyed? Weren’t we supposed to be in love?
Then he tells me that he was hoping we would be friends [ahhh!! how lame!!!] and that he would still like to come [...]
invisible

You become invisible with age. You walk into a room – and where once you lit it up and sparkled in all the glory of youth - now no one turns to look at you. And when they do, they look right through you. You see their eyes going through your head and onto the [...]
