New Symphony

Engulfed in confrontation, You selfishly embark on flooding me With guilt trips galore You use me I am used up Fascinating how quick you are to Drive me into the corner, When the last thing you ever do is talk Sense I need to flee Before the anger reaches all of me Before the truth reaches your ears And destroys what is near and dear I need a break from your soliloquys, From your pointing fingers From your polluted mind You have polluted me Of course you cannot see I am used up! I turn to the stars, I feel so small, Yet the world is ours And sense is miles and miles of glorious light I turn to the kindness of your smile, To the orbs of compassion The coldness has made me infinitely tiresome But the tears you see mean something Save me, Salvage the last of my light Search for the dreams beyond this fight I never want to go back I cannot bear to see that face Try to look me in the eye and lie Only truth in my stride relays to me, We are not meant to be You are holding me back and killing me I am used up And you are losing, see I welcome the open air, The aroma of rain The warmth that life contains To set the tone for this new symphony It is brighter now Without you I am free Give in, you cry And to those behind Who never see your side, Say goodbye

Sounds like a very tough time. I have said this before, the kindest way to say this is not going to work is to mention that the chemistry is not there. That way, the person on the other side hopefully can accept the rejection. Some do not want to let go. You are a good person with dreams and ideas, and some people will want to latch onto you to try to have a piece of that. In the end, they are better off free swimming for a while.

Your will to discover a higher truth is necessary, even in love Laura...do what you must to not only know and create with truth but to enjoy it's blessings as well, as I do. "Only truth in my stride relays to me..." I love the depth of this expression because I live it day to day, great poetry. I'm very eager for your next portion of Light On the Devil's Cord, and I wanted to thank you again for having the grace to comment on every part of my epic, it means so much to me Laura...J.A.B.

Your word means a lot to me, as it relays truth and passion in such a beautifully artistic way- so reading your epic was a real pleasure and thrill for me. I felt renewed by it, and stronger! This is why I love your work, and your comments. You've got a way about you that is so refreshing. ~Laura
