Nowhere hurts less than nothing.

By Stephanie Sideways

My 'fun' dips in and out of reception
I guess I can't stand
feeling like something
you can take or leave

I don't want to hate you
It hurts to feel like that
If no feelings 'emerge' at all with you
then I am surely a fool?

So please just tell me politely to stalk away
If you can't throw me
A morsal more than bait

It can't go anywhere far
We both know this is so
So stop it going nowhere
Even if nowhere hurts me less than nothing!

    I love that phrase "nowhere hurts less than nothing". It says so much about the trials of love. Excellent pen my dear!

    make that "so many" (forget who originated this old quote) cheers! Where are the other readers? Chatting I'd guess and you just never know, this was a fine piece.
