Quoth the Poetess- Nevermore

I left myself vulnerable I left myself exposed But that will never happen again No, nevermore I offered myself to you I sacrificed my soul But that will never happen again No, nevermore I shared secret fantasies All the dreams I had in store But that will never happen again No, Nevermore I let you in the Holy Place Where your image I adore But that will never happen again No, Nevermore I let you taste my passion Let it soak you to the core But that will never happen again No, Nevermore I gave you control of me Gave in to your whims and more But that will never happen again No, nevermore I gifted to you my body And let you caress my soul But that will never happen again No, nevermore Though I gave you all I had And opened my heart’s door, Though to me you were a king Whom I lived to please and more You did not value me aright Nor treasure me…what’s more I KNOW that you will long for me Now and Evermore!

Oh Harry, my sincerity and superfluousness haven't always protected me but have brought me pain. Some things are better left unsaid. A hard lesson to learn. Your words bring healing and some tears. I am not well, but thank you for this kind and generous comment. The sun is peeking behind the clouds. :)

Thanks, Richard. I love Edgar Allen Poe! Perhaps because he dealt with depression as I do. He had a troubled mind, yet...beauty flowed from him. Much like Van Gogh..another favorite of mine. Richard, you are very supportive. This means a great deal to me. Thank you.
