This is so beautiful,
Excellent way to think of someone in heart.

This is so nice to read,
As it came from a powerful heart.

I can�t go forward,
I can�t return,
All I do is feel my heart burn!
I love you,
I curse you!
I wish you had not left me,
Here alone�

Too difficult situation .... to step forward or back ... The decision one take have more importance ... The output of our future lives in that decision ...

Wonderful

Very moving piece, Reindeer. And very well written. The contradiction of our own needs--it can work havoc.

Ah, dear me, I have known those tortured souls. I have talked to them. One day. Gone the next. I never knew. I never felt it. People can keep dark secrets all alone inside of them and then it is just comes a time when it is too late to reach out, they can only drop out. Sad. Damn sad.

"Haunting Memories of You..." makes me dive through the lake of imagination and see the arcane of this story "Haunting Memories of You..."

A striking poetical writing that flows through the waves of my mind.

On this thirty-seventh day of Spring I salute You, Sublime Poet!

Retta,

I was in the neighborhood, and thought I�d drop by. Wow, this write is absolutely heart wrenching, yet one that must be told. I�m quite sure you know that you can�t be in two places at the same time; it is however, very admirable that you have expressed your own regrets. In our lives unfortunately all too often, the big IF smacks us right in the kisser. Hold your head high, and try remembering the good times for there shall be plenty more. Stick around, and we�ll all get to watch the end of the movie together. Stay strong, and from what I�ve seen around the Den, you have quite a few great folks cheering for you in your corner. And, if it�s okay with you, I�d like to drop by and visit too? Love your writes.

Best of luck to you and yours,
Thomas

Grim write, indeed, from the Sisters Grim; but very well done.

Retta, I guess you know you've managed for the first time this morning to move me to tears.
Suicide is never the answer, and it never ends the sorrow, it only hands it off to those that are left to deal with the reasons why.
To say this touched and moved me is an understatement..
Very well penned Retta, extremely painful! Lisa

The dark side of life, the other side of the happy face. Who can know? When Selznick's daughter committed suicide, she chided her mother, Jennifer Jones, with her last note. Jennifer often threatened suicide. Her daughter wrote, "See, mother, here's how you do it."
