I<BR>
hate living for the future<BR>
when everyone else lives in the now.<BR>
I am no longer waiting.<BR>
To see so many pass you by,<BR>
When you wish they would just stay,<BR>
As if you didn't exist,<BR>
As if your feelings didn't matter.<BR>
I reel them in, I try,<BR>
But the cord is not strong enough,<BR>
The emotional bond not thick enough,<BR>
And it happens again,<BR>
They get distracted by something else,<BR>
And forget to say goodbye.<BR>
I tried being nice about it,<BR>
To act as if I were okay.<BR>
But I'm not, and it's not okay<BR>
So I'm not going to stand for it any more.<BR>
Everyone says "Accept me!" but they<BR>
Never take the time to think about others,<BR>
To maybe accept others as they are.<BR>
And so the self-centered fantasy lives on,<BR>
And I begin to prick the dream-finger in your mind,<BR>
That everything is alright with me,<BR>
And that I will always be there,<BR>
No matter how you represent yourself.

Really liked the poem, "Letting Go" on your Heart on Sleeve page November 2000.  It's kind of what I'm trying very hard to do.  My marriage didn't work out as of a week and a day ago.  Kind of hard not to think of all the good times in the past year, and forget about the fights, and the worries we both had for each other.  Kind of easy to gloss over the hard times....but I guess it's for the best for both of us.  How's that poem go?  If you love something, set it free, if it never comes back, it was never meant to be. (Or something sappy like that.)  Doesn't make it hurt any less being philosophical, or maybe it does a little - to remove yourself from the situation for a minute, makes it hurt a little less...I'm sure it'll get easier...maybe...someday.
