Brenda, i love the honesty you portray in your poems, its not easy to be vulnerable but you make it seem so natural, beautiful ink.

thank you Vee for the lovely comment made me smile :) peace Brenda

I know this will sound strange to you... but try running. Start slow - check out the information on the C25K site. It is a lifesaver... Same kind of high, but so much better for you.

Love is a bitch...

There is a poem out there called "Never was, always could have been" (or something like that) that I read a while ago... this sounds like much the same... and I do empathize ...

thank you Petit for empathizing.. I never heard of that poem but would be interested in reading it.. peace Brenda :)

Thank you for the advise Petit yes running is better then drinking and doesn't sound strange at all.. peace Brenda :)

Trying to find it again... different poem altogether, but same mood. I think you'd like it.

Found it. It's by a young woman named Anwen in Cardiff, Wales - written in 2012. I hope you find it to your liking...

[N]ever Wanted

You make me tired. Everything you
ever were, never wanted to be -
it’s all fading. You take me to the edge
every day, hold my hand and

disappear, leave me on the precipice
of something greater than we
ever were, never wanted to be.
I wonder if we could have been,

if I’d wanted it. I think we could have
been written among the stars, one day,
scribbled on the sky in chalk and
ink, but we’re not, are we? We

never were, never wanted to be.
We’re here instead, lost in the ether
of the unknown and the never-will-be,
and that’s all we’ll ever amount to,

you and me; a photograph that was
never taken, an email that was never
written and a love that was never lost,
because you can’t lose what never was,

never could have been.

Thank you Petit for sharing this poem so much better than mine I love it!!! so very beautiful and eloquent in it's sadness.. peace Brenda

No - not better than yours. Never think that. I just thought you might find a kindred spirit in this...

Thank you Petit I did.. it was very kind of you to find it for me lovely lady :) peace Brenda

There comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of wine...I'm not encouraging any alcoholism but you have to be in that position to understand that sometimes the only escape to reality is in a glass of wine... I've been in real fucked situations and nothing help me but a little alcohol. but I really wish you overcome this problem. my mother had a severe problem with alcohol after a divorce but she made it...

Thank you Cesar for such a thoughtful comment it touched my heart.. peace Brenda

Sit with Me and Drink from My Bottle...Crim

"A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has not overcome them."
- Carl Jung
