Failure and success and redemption and starting over and falling down and ****ing up and letting go and then listening to silence. That's what I'm thinking of right now.

Sometimes

Do graveyards scare you?

That was awesome.

I love Poe. I used to have a collection of his work, I had forgotten til you reminded me...I lost it.....

I have to agree with that, Huck, my soul is blacker than tar, I guess that's why my poems are improving.

As others have said, since we don't know the entire story, we can't really give great advice. However, I can say that if your husband is willing to walk out on you simply because of this, it doesn't sound like he values your marriage very much. I've never been married, never will be married, but from what I've heard of it, you're supposed to compromise and work through things.

Unless your sister poses a great bodily threat to him or his family, or she is committing crimes that will cause him and his family grave danger, I think what he said is extreme and cruel, making you choose between him and her. A solution would be for the three of you to sit down and openly talk, set up ground rules, make her sign a contract, everyone in the house agrees to it. Give her a specific time period in which she needs to be actively looking for a job or enrolling in school, searching for her own place, and respecting the rules and boundaries of your home, maybe helping out with chores, so she's being of some use to the family.

None of this seems unreasonable to me. If she can agree to that, and holds to it, it shouldn't be a problem. If she can't, then she needs to make other arrangements. I hope this works out for you, you sincerely have my sympathy.

I don't think it's silly or ridiculous to commit to someone online, there are all sorts of relationships and as long as it works for whomever is involved, it's good. There are no guarantees that any relationship will work out- in person, online, long distance, whatever. And you can know a person for years and years "in real life" and still never really know them. I say if an online relationship works, go for it and **** everyone else's snickers, rude comments, and raised eyebrows. But that's just me.

I confess I feel better today than I did yesterday.

Thanks, Plastic, pkd and 2kidsmom. I always appreciate your comments.

Good idea, just let it rest for a bit and the words will come. I love it the way it is, however, I don't write lyrics, so I have no idea how it should be.

I think it's perfect the way it is, why change it?

That's beautiful, kc.

I feel better.
I'm still sad.
Tomorrow is another day.

nope

does the idea of an adult slumber party sound like fun?

in my head

ever smoke cigarettes as a kid?

Somehow I doubt if they have one here, I could be wrong, but I sincerely doubt it.....

yes, and it wasn't how i really felt

ever want to break a window just to see it break?

That sounds like fun. I wonder if they have that anywhere around here?

not exactly

are you afraid of small spaces?

I like the last line, been there several times. Good write.
