oh elle, this is exceptional. So much truth and realness within your
words and those last four lines bring a clarity of thought that pierces
my heart. Some never reveal who they are until it is far too late.
Perhaps the fantasy should just be left alone sometimes ....

Excellent post hun!!

A wounded and sad write Elle.
I am so sorry for the pain.

Well written verse non the less and you are right the truth can hurt so very bad. Hard pill to swallow at times. Once over the shock of it though we are better off (knowing) later down the road ya know??

Hugs you tight and tighter

Not sure anyone intentionally let's us know who they really are. I think they just forget how to keep up the facade. But oh my goodness, you drop that reality like a well place hand grenade!!!! Ah, the power of "L" and strength from within that is inspring.

Drat! that last word is supposed to be "inspiring".
