Wound

Woe am I to whom your words have torn bits Out from my heart only to smooth, console Until I have again untangled wits. Needful, I beg you patch this jagged hole Drilled into my heart by your darkened soul.

Not this girl - as I commented to Jan, no co-dependent nightmare for me - yikes! I was raised by parents who encouraged independence and survival skills. It's good to see you! :)

Hi Jan. Well, I try to keep distance from "needy" personalities. I feel like folks should suck it up and stop whining. This kinda rings like co-dependency nightmare to me. LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting! hugs Linda:)
