Array ( [sid] => 48324 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Truth of a Dark Angel [time] => 2004-05-19 22:45:36 [hometext] => For all the things that have gone untold. What would have been said if.... Asked and.......... [bodytext] => In the churning darkness lies become the truth.
Unhidden from myself without choice to listen.
Every eye met and ear turned by the reality I showed.
The real answers buried deep inside my soul...

Baby? Will you love me forever?
No, for I am loveless inside.

Why do you grind your teeth when you sleep?
Because otherwise I would scream.
How come you never truly smile?
My life torments me 'til my joy is lost.

What are you really like? I want to know.
My soul is a black wasteland with heart hard and cold.

Why do you hurt?
Life is pain.
Don't you want to be happy?
Why bother when it just ends?

How do you seem so strong?
I rely only on myself.

How can you seem to care so much?
I can feel another cry when I can't myself.
Why are you so mean sometimes?
Why are you so soft inside?

If you care so little why do you try?
Because others deserve better than my life.

You can't carry the world on your shoulders.
Care to bet me?
You're going to break.
Don't I carry you when you need it?

Would you like to talk about it?
No, I stand alone.

Why did you hurt her?
I didn't mean to, I'd rather have loved her.
Why don't you go after another?
So I can cause more pain?

Why are you so convinced you're bad?
My past alone speaks volumes to that.

Why don't you try to change?
Because this hole inside always stays.
Why do you have to be like this?
Stop crying and I'll try to explain:

I'm alive though I feel dead.
I hope when I can't cry.
I try when death eludes me.
I want to love.... I do.

Darkness enshrouds me though,
and I can't feel my pierced skin bleeding.

Why don't you ever apologize?
Apologies fix nothing.
Why won't you let us help?
I don't understand how to be comforted.

Please let us help.
How can you help when you can't understand?

Jeff, this is amazing!! Truly amazing. I was there back in my chair listening to you. It was like out of body. Weird? Well, I am sometimes.

You are the best,

So circular. The hole is universal, but you feel yours so much more deeply---what most of us only trace has depth to you. You are so young and yet so very wise and still so very young. You will have your answers.

Wow. This was one powerful piece. It took me by the throat. What a whirl of tangled emotion! You are right, I cannot understand it, for I have never been brought to such a place.

But do you not think one can come in the end to the same destination even if their road toward it was a tougher one?

Nora recommended that I read this awhile back, and I did. And now I'm commenting on it. The last 4 stanzas say it all, and that's all I'll say.
