I Learned Today
I learned today
that once I tortured.

But it was only silence.
I did not know.

I raked a claw of silence
across a face I loved
and left a mark
on cheeks as pale
and gently curved
and pure as drifting snow.

But it was only silence.
I did not know
that time would drag
it's rasping nails
across the itch and scar
those cheeks as

Aaaaaw WOW. That's sweet. I'm sure she appreciates it. Good old wibby. :)

I hope so. I've been out of touch with a lot of people for a long time now. I can understand how my silence seems like indifference, or even worse, but it's not so. Sometimes saying what I'm thinking without sending a wrong message is hard work for me, so I stay quiet. That's not an excuse for me not to try however.

Thank you.

I did tell her not to take it personally, that in your own words yu sometimes prefer to 'hide and just observe' or something.

Thank you. That's a fair summary, but sadly sometimes the lights are too bright and the crowd's too loud so I close my eyes and ears. That's just selfish of me and not a reflection on anyone else

You are an incredibly talented writer and your language and structure is brilliant and if it took a lot of sulking and foot-stomping from me to make you come back and write than I'm proud of the part I played :P

Thank you for writing and coming back!!!!!!... though I hope that I haven't forced either of these things.

that would be THEN and not THAN, but than again I have never been much better then primary-schoolers where spelling and grammar is concerned.

I want to write more in addition to what you posted above, but don't really know of what to say, since I still feel bad for dragging you back to a place you possibly did not want to be.

Don't feel bad about dragging me anywhere. All of us need a foot up our arses sometimes even though we hate to admit it. I've been putting my thoughts onto first blurty and now lj for just over two years now and I think you are the only serious fan I've acquired. There must be something terribly weird about you!(smiles

NOOOO. I wrote a good response comment to this and closed the window. A friend is coming in half an hour, I PROMISE I will re-write it in all its glory when she's left.
