ouch

searching for it

upon my chest
they rest
a thousand
tiny elfin
creatures
pins poised
to prick me
smiling sweetly
all the while
trying to regain
their standing
losing the
battle
as I turn
my back
on him
for good.

Thank you. Yeah, I always thought elves a ghoulish and creepy lot.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes ..they are!!! in the Celtic heritage one does not cross their paths ..nor make light of their mischievous behavior ... they are not the elves of gossamer wings ;)

OUCH indeed....you know you want to do it, but you also know the pain will be horrid. Letting go is not easy and the ache you feel afterwards stings terribly. Still, ripping off a bandaid quickly and feeling the pain early is better than feeling it for years. You have a great way of expressing emotions.

Letting go = opening mourning eyes after 4 AM midnights through years at highnoon.
