You never know someone’s true intentions with you. Closeness with someone I love may still never be reassuring enough to calm the thoughts screaming that I am simply not meant to have good things in this life.
Attachment issues are what I am made of. Intimacy and love are what I crave. My mind is a place full of emotions deeper than any body of water you could ever dive into.
I don’t want it to fall apart again so I prepare myself for the worst possible outcome. Here is where I simply forget to reimagine the scenario.
It’s hard to heal when you’re trying to keep your walls built up. My heart is still in ruins.
I feel like I’ve given you my heart on a string and expected you to not drag it around like a lifeless nothing on a leash.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
