You decide...

Scar tissue stays tender sometimes,
Right?
Callus' dont just build overnight,
Right?
Neverending story five finger discount.
You've heard it before.
Summer 1985 another junkie just looking to score.
May 1986 my mother bore, me.
9 months earlier that was my junkie father knockin at nanas door.
Never met the guy, heard tom was his name.
I got stuck with his last,
Shame.
Met him on a bus once,
Weird.
I was 19 somehow recognized his dirty bearded grin.
Always wanted to punch him,
Seemed non christian.
Today im 25 engadged and in love,
To eddie.
Well at least thats her name,
In this story.
I feel loved and discouraged,
Calm,
Feeling blue and seeing red.
Its hard to be mad,
When your scared.
Now enjoy what I once feared?
Yeah.
Do which what I must never do.
Of course.
I can do bad all by myself,
But I wished you where there.
I know whats scary and its not the sickness.
Its missing everything.
Being held hostage by eddie.
Dinners, wine, daughter, life.
You'll miss everything.
Being my wife.
Come on eddie get it together.
We have much more to weather,
Together.

Im sorry you had to go

Im sorry you had to go through that, but with every bad , sad, and painfull memory comes a chance for a good, lovi, sweet,happy one, to help replace iT . Though it will ever be forgotten, or lost, in your mind, it will fade from blackness to a dull gray. Still s color, still forever, but dull and not as sharp as before. It makes you stronger,and you learn so much from it. Keep fighting through, don't give up. Very good poem. I'd be honored if you would look over my poems :) when ever you have time.
