emsie he's gone now, but it doesn't make me any happier. it's not like I hoped and prayed he would leave, because leaving solves nothing. things are still the same, maybe worse, now that he's gone. now I feel like if he were here, you wouldn't hang out with me at all, and the only reason you're hanging out with me now, is because he's gone...lates... 991014

jules Sometimes, when I read things like this, it makes me sad. Yes, he is gone. And that makes me cry. And I feel that it is the hardest thing that we have to be apart for a whole year. I am trying to surround myself with people who care about me (ie you and the rest) and I try to create as much happiness and busyness as possible to divert my mind from the humongous void inside of me. So then I read this, and think 'what the fuck. i'm trying. if you could just think outside the box for once' We could do fun things. Make plans. You're my girl. PLEASE. 991127

misstree left new orleans
in my battered suitcase mind,
sighing
for all the things i leave behind,

all the faces i won't see,
all the drinks in silent toast,
all the caresses of his hands
and the secrets i now host,

all the times i never had,
all the brilliant time misspent,
but it left me far too battered,
so me and my suitcase went.

Liz While I am sitting here
I can feel my eyes well up with tears
And I can feel
My throat begin to close
Why am I doing this to me?
This is self-torture
I’m cutting myself with words
They cut so deep
You can’t cure the wounds
I promised myself to be strong
And I thought I could be
So much I am not
I am not strong
I am nothing
I am not here

While the day passes by
You may feel this never ending loneliness
And you know
That someone is suffering
Will you ask yourself why?
Reality can be so hard
And words can cut so deep
Too deep
To ever be ignored
I promised not to cry
And I thought I could stand
Everything I am not
I am falling
I am fading
I’m almost gone

"i love you"
and he said,
"you could've fooled me"
i didn't even know what he was talking about. got drunk last night, had one of my famous blackouts. tried to leave, drive. and when he wouldn't let me i called him a motherfucker, tried to hit him. so who could blame him for not wanting me around? i asked if we were over, and he said he didn't know. but i know. he won't be able to stay with me now. he gone lone gone. and so am i.

Sailor Jupiter Quietly you packed up your things
You boarded your plane
and flew
I couldn't believe
when she said you were gone
No goodbyes for me or anyone?
I guess we're not the friends
that I thought we were
or wanted us to be
She said it is for the best
which I agree is probably true
But you're gone
and no one knows when
or even if you're coming back
There's no reason for you to return
I will miss you
My poor heart will grieve for you
My mind recalls the last song
that you played for me
"You'll steal my heart, I'll count to 3
You'll walk away, just like on TV..."
Now to go cry myself to sleep

Perspective_Of_Soul It is all still there.The things, the people, the happiness of others.All that has gone is the hope i see in it all.
The safety i felt in my own mind.
The comfort i felt with my soul.
It has all gone.
Gone with one swift decapitation.
The normal flow, the tradition circulation of good and evil has stopped with the latter being held within the burning torment chamber of my minds eye.Nowhere to go but downwards in the fiery spiral i myself have created out of the very fear of its existance.

*silent screams You have been kidnapped from my life. Your nowhere to be found, vanished without a trace. I search, and still find nothing. I can't give up. My hope is dying, but will never disappear. I will not give up, I will not give in. I will find u. If i search a lifetime just to spend half a second with u in the end, it would be worth it. Your face is fading, our hands are slipping...do we have the strength?...is our love strong enough to survive the distance? Will fate cross our paths once more? I still have faith in us, i believe with everything i am , that we will be together in the end. Once half doesn't make a whole, please tell me u feel it too. ...i will never give up...even if u do... 021207

tracking down my face
for what was lost
hadn't yet been gained
how sad to mourn
the passing of something
that is still unborn.
unspoken, unknown, un-heard-of...
that's why my tears are quiet,
ghostly and soft,
because not even i knew
before it was gone.
i never saw it coming,
but then they say you never do.
how strange to find it
in the moment that it left...

oren The house began its gradual change.
It felt like a slow death.

The light through the windows wasn't as bright anymore.
The usual sounds of settling were louder.

The air grew heavy as the days passed.
Old air.

I tried talking to myself.
I could hear my voice echo. The echo made the house seem even more empty so I stopped.

I missed her.

The house missed her.

baconwhisperer A bulldozer clumsily sheared the tree trunk--
flaying delicate bark
to expose a sinewy wound.

The driver backed up to finish the job,
ramming till
roots snapped
and canopy toppled
in a spray of tiny dirt clods.

I howled,
being only eight
and so in love with the tree,
which had patiently listened
to complaints about freckles
and gamely tasted mud pies
I'd baked in the sun.

I walked the long way
'round the south side of the house that summer
so I wouldn't have to see
the fresh earth and new blades of grass
where my friend had been.

Yesterday, I turned left of Pine Street
to avoid that stretch of sidewalk,
that diner,
that corner booth,
all of which remind me
of the day
when you ripped yourself
out of my life
in a fit of gnashing gears
and engine-like fury.

There is no howl, now--
only the soundless
wave of my fist
at the careless, careless driver.

yxSu How should I your true love know
  From another one?
 By his cockle hat and staff,
  And his sandal shoon.

He is dead and gone, lady,
  He is dead and gone,
 At his head a grass-green turf,
  At his heels a stone.

Drivin' down the highway all night
Got the radio up..loud
Gas gauge almost on empty
Gotta make it to Norman..Oklahoma somehow
'Cuz I'm a freight train in the rain
Drivin' like a hurricane
Runnin' from the devil with a beat up six string
Town to town I get around
The only thing that gets me down
Is when I gotta tell em

CHORUS
Oh
Just one more song
and then I'm gone
CHORUS

On to the next show: Waco, Plano
The fine folks of Conway, Arkansas
Tupelo to Tuskaloosa, Alabama
Montgomery and then Pensacola
I make my way from Tallahassee like I'm shot from a gun
To catch a gig in Athens, Georgia
Then Greenville, Rock Hill, Ashville, Knoxville
Just when they think I'm done
Oh no

CHORUS

ALT CHORUS
Nashville
Here I come!
So sorry that I can't stay long

I went from Lexington, Kentucky
To Madison, Indiana
Back on down through Bowling Green
To Baton Rouge, Lousiana

Hey Houston!
Better look out, son..
Oh..just one show
And then I'm gone
ALT CHORUS

CHORUS

That's all I've got time for, folks
Gotta get to a show in Dallas/Ft. Worth
Flagstaff, Arizona
Barstow, California
Down through San Ysidro to Tijuana
Then across to Juarez and up through El Paso
Gotta get my ass to Idaho
I've got some fans up there in Coeur d'Alene.

Risen "And I'm gone" she says... as though she was ever here.

If it was even her, which seems somewhat doubtful.

But the point remains... she doesn't regret how it ended, she doesn't regret her choice, she doesn't want anything to be different... except the part where she didn't get to have fun, and the part where I'm not happy.

The fact that I have gone through awful things, worse things than I have ever faced in my entire life, and lost more things than I knew were possible... and learned how to live with nothing... without any love, help, support or reassurance from anyone... without any friends, without a lover, without anyone to talk to... that is my strength.

And the only time I tried to reach out to her was when I thought something I discovered in my hell might help her. Might improve her life

That is my strength. I am broken, sure, but I'm used to being broken. I am used to having nothing.

When you have nothing, when you feel worthless for real... when you contemplate suicide not because of depression but because being dead actually seems like a blessing compared to the torture that is life, and when you climb out of that hole and find a way to put goodness back into the world...

That is strength. I am a fucking strong, fierce, capable woman, living through hell. I am surviving.

And if you want a benediction, if you want forgiveness, you have it. If you want me to make you feel better about the way things happened, then please, feel better. But if you want to come here and beat yourself up about how the wreckage of my life is your fault, don't.

But I don't think that's why she would be here, if she was. I think it would be for the same reasons as last time. Wanting to feel adored, wanted, missed... to get a fix of that and then go back to normality.

I'm interchangeable, me, as I am, the person I am, my qualities, my strengths, my personality... that was all secondary. It could have been swapped out with anyone else, as long as they had the same devotion.

It isn't about me. It's about the wanting to be wanted.

As soon as that looked unlikely, as soon as it wasn't "oh hey, welcome back to the world of fun secrets and lies and maybe a bit of naughty fun if you say so"... when it's a real life and a real person, with real emotions, and real reactions, not just rolling over and obliterating every single part of my identity and who I am to make her happy... to the point of disowning my own NAME... boom. Gone.

I gain no satisfaction from being right. I really don't. I used to be exactly the same. Looking back at the greener grass and wondering what if. It's why I was a cheater. But I'm not anymore. I understand the urge, but I don't need to encourage it. Given that it isn't about me, it could just as easily be anyone else... and no one who has lived as second choice for years wants to do it again. When the ending can only be the same.

TLDR
I'm too old for this shit.
