[bodytext] => / //// / I slept like a miser day after day, conditioned to wake when his coin rolled away. not for its sake or a will of its own, but the natural slope of the hill it was on. you rolled away for a moment or two, and I awoke, tormenting you. I kept like a hoarder all that was dear; clung to it tightly, held it all near. it slipped through my fingers like moments in time, until at the end, nothing was mine. so I dwelt in anger, but lived in fear; afraid to be hurt by anything near. I couldn’t connect, not even by phone; until finally you found me, here alone.
