Words can cut like knives.
Do you know how deep they cut?
I’m afraid to ask.
Somedays we crave solitude,
Others we long for company...
We feel lonely,
abandoned.

We are alone in or minds,
Living through a hell of our own.
No one will understand,
No one can understand.

I see you today,
I miss you tomorrow.
Soon after I will love you,
And I will hate you...

We are not stalkers,
We just need assurance.
Someone to constantly remind us,
We are loved, We aren't forgotten...

Sometimes I shout above you,
I am not angry,
I just want to block out...
The battle in my mind.

The little candle stood in the day,
silently shedding its light...
Unnoticed, neglected,
it hoped, cried, and prayed for the night...

At last when the night arrived,
when the day had gone..
cherished, celebrated,
it smiled, burnt and led you to the dawn.
Why are you afraid of the dark? Don't be for it's the only way to discover the burning flames inside you.

I don’t remember how long it’s been
since you’ve left, I just know
that you’re gone and
the only way I really remember you
is when my defenses are so low
that I allow you into my dreams.
Sometimes it makes me wish
my walls were weaker,
then I see what you do to me.
I don’t know where you went when you left me
but says here in the water,
you must be gone by now.
I can tell somehow.

Too many gestulate but Im already down.
One day hard hitting without thought
but now I willingly break bread
with my eyes pointing down.
To imposter anybody else is a sin.
No sympathy weeping branches
a twisting wind as lore is
more likely to see the light.

I am anchored to thoughts of Brugge.
My gastronomical panache is set.
Walking in a medieval town is like
voyaging  to the summits,
the stillness of the morning air
comes with a sense of belief.
Rossie our  tour guide
quilts you with the  knowledge
and a  knowing boon.
Nowhere else provides such testimony.

"That there Is'belle's house stinks wunderful turr'ble,"croaked Emma Beiler at their quilting bee.
"Jah...vell," sighed Rosanna Yoder. "All them there katzes , ain't so?"
Accordingly the two ladies set out to pay Travis and Isabella Salter a visit, only to be politely told that they had were in the process of taking some cats to a local shelter.
Two weeks passed and to the Amish folks' disgust the odour had merely intensified.
"Them there Englisch are chust liars!" Potato Sam spat the words out along with a *** of chewing tobacco.
" Ach, vell," sighed  his wife Rosanna, unaware of her heavily sweating underarms. The Ordnung  strictly forbade deodorant as well as perfume. "Reckon I best  mosey over and see fur myself."
Travis opened the door with a tired sigh.
'Chust thought I'de ask vhat fur stinks yer house up so vonderful tur'ble...Izzy tells us youse gettin' rid of them but-"
A puzzled look crossed Travis weary face as he glanced toward the kitchen. Irritation gripped him, not lessened as Rosanna glowered at Tabby washing her face on the couch. Then a waft of a familiar scent, overpowering, drifted toward him from the kitchen. Brussel sprouts enhanced by -.
With all the stress, Isabelle was increasing her calming herbs, mixing the powders.... Valerian?
"Good evening, Mrs. Yoder." He motioned her toward the door, locking it firmly behind her. For a long time after she was gone he stood staring out the window.

I hear a silent cry in the dark of the night,
The cry of loneliness and despair that echoes
Throughout the emptiness that surrounds you.

Alas! I hear the pain and sorrow
Dripping down, down my windowpane
Like the tears that clean your face
As you cry yourself to sleep.

Awaken, my child, for you are not alone.
Come out of the emptiness into the light,
Warming our souls and sweeping away the sorrow
That consumed what's left of what used to be you.
