[hometext] => ...a sad November day, 2004 is about all I can remember...
[bodytext] => From my window I can see the gallows you built long ago. I have wandered aimlessly in my mind because I stopped looking for a reason. How could a man slice through my heart with such precision, yet, swear he was unaware? The pain was so sharp at times the tears clouded my vision. How could you not see? Now I stare out my window, longing to be free. To be me. But I have obligations you say. Responsibilities too. Duties yet to be fulfilled and agreements to follow through. What did you give up? What have you lost? What did I ever take from you? I dared not approach. I knew I'd hang. I watched my bits and pieces fall off and could not stop to pick them up, let alone, lament their loss. Always my eyes were on the gallows and my mind on the rope you furnished. I was unable to reason. Unable to negotiate. Unable to plead my case. Had I known of the sorrow, heartache and loss to come, I'd have hung myself.
