If You Aren't The Woman I Think

He Was Like A Song I'd Heard Once In Fragments But Had Been Singing In My Mind Ever Since.

Sadness Was A Very Heavy Thing.

I Didn't Say To Act Dead. I Said Act Helpless.

How Many Times Already Had I Encountered The Painful Lesson That Although We May Wish For The Barb To Be Pulled From Our Flesh, It Leaves A Welt That Doesn't Heal?

My Tears Simply Broke Through The Fragile Wallthat Had Held Them, And With A Terrible Feeling Of Shame, I Laid My Head Upon The Table And Let Them Drain Out Of Me.
