Headstall's Reflections - 22. Chapter 22 Limbo

Gary,
I know you may be the only one that will get this, but I was in tears reading that. I swear sometimes you feel my pain too. That was awful and beautiful at the same time.

This speaks of the difficulty and pain that oft accompanies doing what we think the best recourse.

Aw geez, Gary. I have my own ideas about this and who. I just hope you have people there you can talk to about it. I hope you've made the right choice for you. Hugs my friend. tim xoxo

Beautifully written, even as it describes to much pain and heartache. Sometimes the hardest stage is that state of limbo, where no one wants to let go, no matter how much your head tries to tell you otherwise.

Hugs.. Difficult choices. I'm sorry you're hurting..

I know the pain. I know the desperate feeling of not to let go. I can feel that through the poem. I know you are hurting now, but as you said before 'Time will heal'. *Hugs* Gary...

We can never be certain what's right, dugh... we just forge ahead and hope we haven't made a big mistake... thanks for your support, my friend...

Oh Gary, you have such a gift for expressing the most painful emotions. This one is perhaps the most difficult one, since it falls between the love/hate spectrum. That seemingly endless stage where you teeter on the brink of one or the other, and it changes from second to second, not heeding what logic says you should do.
I've been there more than once, and no matter the circumstances which brought it about, it feels like you are stuck in that one spot, your life suspended until some external force nudges you on to a much needed distraction.
My last relationship with Kevin had a few rocky moments, and we always managed to get things settled,and that gave me the faculty to hope for the best as it's never too late to try again--until that final time we were together and external forces made him take his last fatal goodbye from me, and his life. What I wouldn't give for that Limbo where he could find his way back....
Another soul-wrenching Truth today, my dear friend.

Thank you, my friend, but there is no hate here... only pain. I wish Kevin could find his way back to you too. Limbo sucks, but I will cope...

I hope that regardless of its name, it worked.

This one was tough, my friend... very tough... thanks for reading and reviewing... cheers... Gary....

How hard it must have been to part ways, to accept the sorrow and hurt. I cannot know your choices or your hurt, but I can offer you hugs and the solace that your well crafted words ring out your cries to all who can hear.

Thank you, Parker. Poetry, and my friends' support has helped me through a process that has been going on since March. It's been exhausting...
