Without Words

I confess

That I have betrayed some of my best friends

I admit

That I did not listen to those in need

I know

That I could never live up to my own ideals

But what happens to me now

Is worse than confinement, bleeding, apocalypse

Even the 13,597 poems I memorized

Did not prepare me for this

Author's Notes:

This happened to me a while ago, I'm almost fine now, so don't worry.

	Heike! How nice to have you back on the job! Well, kiddo, nothing prepares us for our broken hearts. And time gets a lot of undeserved credit, in my opinion, as a healer. Older but wiser, they say. It's my opinion that wisdom also gets a great deal of undeserved credit. In spite of our scars, though, we do seem to come out of it a bit stronger. Good luck, babe. ML Respond To This Comment
