After...

I let the tears seep into the ground beneath me.

I let the tension crawl out of my body and slink off into the darkness.

On the cold, stone floor of what had come to feel like my prison...I succombed to the exhaustion enveloping me.

My aching body...weak and motionless until a feeling of warmth persuaded it to stir.

Eyes still heavy with sleep, I raised my head to find sunlight settling over me like a warm blanket...gently brushing my hair back from my tear stained face and murmuring, "Sleep darling, sleep."

yes Linny, I heard that.

You must be drained. But Mr Blue sky is kind and will be keeping an eye on you while you rest.

Your prose, sprung from the painful cracks fracturing your heart is lovely and filled with hope. A silver lining of sorts.

Sleep and rest after acknowledging the sunrise is part of the recovery. You'll get there sweetie. Until then, lean on us, even if most of us are just virtual friends.

Linny you have everything going for you - looks, heart, personality. You dont lose people, they lose you. Get out there and break a few hearts of your own. You cant give up on your promise to yourself.

get sum sleep linny, then wake up and party ur ass off, get wasted(make sure you have your girl there to drive you home and stop you from kissing the ugly ones...)
Then go to the ocean or lake and sit by the water and recover from the hang-over...something about the water that's healing....

hang in there....dont give up, I am tellin you, its really true, he will come when you least expect it, when you have stopped looking and given up, he will be there.
