You made me feel.. for the first time... In my life.. You made my body feel alive.. . That is all it ever was.. Remember the cost No love. No Loss You turned on sensations.. I didn't know I had.. Reached apart of me.. Somehow went beyond.. Where no man could ever go... Until you.. Then I knew.. What I had to do.. That is all it ever was... It scared me.. The way you made me feel.. I had to turn it off.. I can at will.. I could see in your eyes.. You did the same We are thinking This must be stopped.. Not wanting to be caught.. So we remember to shut off.. Turn off emotions.. Turn off sensations.. Turn our mind.. inside.. Remember the cost No Love. No Loss
This is the anthem of the abused. I can no longer trust, so I will not feel. I will not feel so I can not be hurt. You have expressed it so well and clearly.
Oh, Oh Erica...I have shivers right now, all too true, but, haunts...and you...Oh, just so beautifully done, pain and love and loss...
and intimations of gain...? hopes?
oh, yes, I know this way of protecting oneself, and I...you, well
(((((You))))
powerfully sad, yet...
I want more for YOU! for that beautiful, sheltered heart!!!
somehow, sigh~
wish I knew how...
too long away, have I been...just
oh, still...you, just want to
((((~erica)))))

A very powerful title and piece.
I have a feeling that everyone is going to be quoting this Erica...what a wonderful message...loved the poem...floria
but what a bitter way
to learn that lesson!
a good write
