Array ( [sid] => 67962 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Letting Go [time] => 2004-10-18 18:33:41 [hometext] => Loss of self recaptured - Comments welcome... [bodytext] => Manner was tentative as she faced the door
Eyes were downcast facing the floor
Voice was tremulous, barely a whisper
Her body constricted, as if zippered

A facade of good cheer expressed on her face
Of her pain there was little outward trace
Under another's scrutiny her lips begin to quiver
Followed by a whole body shake and shiver

Windows to her soul were damp and moistened
Tears ran down draining her of inner poison
She seemed languished in quiet desperation
Breaking out in copious perspiration

Her voice cracked as she spoke
Words were slurred as if on dope
On the brink of loosing control
Could she cope any longer, she didn't know

Oh to be understood regarding her pain
To trust enough to tell her story and refrain
A kind and understanding expression
Allowed her to release her pent up tension

With time and genuine caring
She became more open with her sharing
Her story was filled with horrors and abuse
Realizing now, to leave, she needed no excuse [comments] => 5 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Willofree [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

It has been such a pleasure to read your words and watch the artistry of development. You sir, need no council of mine here. This is well written with wonderful flow. I find a fantastic story of growth and self awaredness within the words. The subject finaly realizing the reasons to leave have been there all along. Fabulous !!!
