Today was a challenge.
Blue, bruised and bedraggled.
I need a mental bandage
from being haggled.

Cerebral contusions,
contests of no desire plead.
Debate with me, I have
the answers you need.

Your answers seem flawed.
One of us is blind
and I feel it's you, not me.
Now my heart has become naught.

Once friendship flowed,
now I wanna scream to you.
You've got a different code.
It was fine with me. Now the

Debate, the word that I hate.
To you I seem void of vision
Two faces of the same coin?
Maybe so, I stick to my decision.

Janet Caldwell 2008


In response to Felix and anyone else who may wonder, for yrs, we have agreed to disagree. I still do. It'll straighten itself out.

i Janet:

It is said that there is only one thin line between "love" and "hate". It takes years to build up love and trust; but it only seconds to destroy it.

Agree to disagree is probably the best way to avoid crossing the thin line.

Love and Peace,

Sandie Angel :o)

It is often hard to understand likt this excellant piece describes so well, that people we care about can have such completely opposite feelings or ideals as we do. Somtimes though the best thing one can do is just agree to disagree and go on caring.
