Mirrors and Reflections

Why do we live like this?
(Because, someone has too.)
We can only carry it for so long
(We could carry it forever love)
before we break
(I wouldn't have let you.)
and shatter
(You did, but I, I...)
like the mirror.
(I lost sight of perfection in all the reflecting shards)
So broken
(I thought I could fix you,)
but still clinging to the frame
(I thought you would hold on.)

And as usual I am pressed a bit for time; and this bothers me becauase it is "You"~And I find "You," irreplaceably fascinating....

"Hello Gifted, Precious & Priceless Madison Thomer!!!":):)~I hope that "You" had a very beautiful weekend dear lady~Filled with all of the joys and happiness' which I had hoped for "You" before I went away!!!?:):)~You know, I read about a dozen of "Your" amazing writes upon my flioght back in last night....And 'every' one of them, proved to paint "Yourself" as someone very unique and extremely talented and soulfully profound indeed!!!:):)~Actually, I could not put "Your" words down....Cont....
