- Mute, At the Fire -

Didn't know that love could make
life so incredibly difficult and painful
Nothing moving in the positive direction
There is no winning, only loss and new wounds
Make fuss and braid lies with spider thread
Maybe words need to be broken
so they no longer have any power
Words do not disappear by themselves
They can become blurry due to age or being forgotten
It's all about finding the right balance

When the tears dry out and thought carousel loses spinning
The loss of love that was never satisfied is a fact
No one wants to build the same puzzle over and over again
Destructive pondering, crying and hunting for peace
Worn shoes through many trails in several years
Meat and blood are a guide in life choices
In the wake of loss, gives us permanent scars
There's nothing left to say

Chris Green Date: 11/15/2019 1:41:00 PM "No one wants to build the same puzzle over and over again" Wow, such a compelling and sad piece of writing Anne-Lise. It even sounds a bit angry. The line I pasted I really enjoyed because it is so true. Nicely done my friend.
