Another from the old old old archives Trying to address the inability to relax and feel.

Blackest night is my heart into its depths I can not see All my life is mists of gray nothing plain for me I look deep into your eyes and know what we had is gone And still I see the shadows of love lost... and wish it not bygone Perhaps I will never learn, at least that's what some would say And all my life, wishful thinking controlling all my days The dilemma of dissociation (C) 1986 Susan Manley

I can feel the angst and pain in your words which your portray so well and posting it after so long, it is maybe you feel the same away again, or maybe going through old poems that remind you of your current situation... always a pleasure to read your emotive poems..
