Wolf Howls at the Raven that Flies High

By BetaWolfinVA

One Love have had I
her i have never married
life traded for her
-
try to live w'out her
hold on to memories and pain
and work there with pride
-
should honesty buy
me her love away from him
should i be honest
-
and hurt the second
one married as much as the
first one that shattered
-
old companion pain
dragging me under slowly
making me fall through
-
how important I
to place my happiness first
ahead others pain
-
to make amends
or make an end either way
this life is over
-
or take cowards way
serving those with more valor
helping them find homes
-
and feeling the pain
of loss again nightly as
i try to keep life
-
indifference now
to one once loved now that i
remember loves pain
-
when ten years mattered
and shatters me still today
silencing reason

So much pain comes from your melancholy work. I think the hardest for anyone is the letting go. I was madly in love once. His love was conditional. Do as I say and I will love you, his motto. I still think about him and then kick myself for it.

all i had to do in 2004 was divorce the woman i didnt love then... now... she says she is happily married and just wants a friend... all my feelings came back at once like the opening of pandoras box

and again I say "alas" we as humans seem to always want what is out of our reach, like the sweets mom use to store high so we don't devour every last one. She must know that you wear your feelings for her on your sleeve and she wants to dangle the sweets in front of your eyes as to say, sorry this is what you let slip. Don't be friends I am telling you now even if you might not listen. You are setting yourself up for a really bad fall. and putting temptation in front of yourself is only going to make you crave her more. You can be cordial but, don't set yourself up for a "Love-Suicide".

Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" definately is appropriate...

she repeatedly told me that she would only be my friend if my wife permitted... And she finally started sending messages to my wife... so now i havent gotten texts back from her in months...and that has made me slowly loose equilibrium... trying to replace having raven as a friend has lead to excesses... at least they were only online, but my integrity is in shards, and i have become inadequate to my work

another great write,i have learned that you need to put yourself infront of others sometimes in order to succeed,to many times have i regretted putting others ahead of my own needs just to get hurt.as much as you want to believe it would be worth it for them, or for yourself, 7 out of ten it is not,. YOUR happiness comes first.im not saying to go out and hurt some one to make yourself happy.but i am saying that feelings do get hurt,people will get over it..sometimes your feelings come first.if that makes sense.i may be taking this the wrong way too, great write either way, as we all know,every one has a different out look on eachother's work, thanks for sharing.

sometimes it seems like i really am living out something similar to the song "Take it easy" from the eagles.. oddly enough, gaia found out about wolfsbane, in general terms (and that it was over before she found out) on halloween, and has begged *me* not to leave *her*... WTF

Cowards way is choosing life, not changing anything and i did choose it, and you did kick my ass no matter how much i wanted to take a fourth option.
