The End

Lately when you touch me It fills me with such fear. Although you're right beside me, Your soul just isn't here. I wish that you could feel again The way you felt before. Although I know you love me less Each day I love you more. Sometimes I wish that you would leave So I could start again. But would that hurt be less or more Than my present pain?

A relatable tragedy and a taut love, the kind that makes you wonder how did it happen to become so sad.. Thank you for sharing this Francine.

it sounds like you're walking on a tightrope between love and hope, hate and smoke.i've found that the tightrope eventually becomes a scarlet noose if you walk on it long enough if you don't fall to your death you slowly loose your final breath

Whew, this one really tugged at my heartstrings! I remember that feeling so well. i knew something was wrong but could not prove my assumptions. I learned from it though that I would rather be alone than with someone who would be unfaithful to me. This one is a favorite for sure!!!
