Breaking the cycle. - by swanston1

coping with illness..true account

October 20th 2008 08:21
Monday Morning, the Telephone rang,
I knew it would be my only precious man,
I answered the phone in my happiest voice,
“I missed you last night”, I thought to myself
“Things are dismal” were the words I heard fall from his mouth.

The mood changed from color
To seriousness and sad
That word “Dismal” rang in my ears, like a sonic boom BANG
It was painful and resonating, it hit my heart and soul like shrapnel.

The tears immediately swelled in my eyes,
I knew words like that from him,
I did not want this bad surprise.

WHAT! WHAT! WHAT! I begged down the phone

What is dismal? What do you mean? Are you OK?

My heart rate soared, and my cheeks grew flushed
Please, not bad news from the only man I’ve loved

I prepared for the words he was about to say
“The tumor is growing”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you, I was in hospital last night”
“Oh my God” I’m thinking, don’t give up your fight

I sat speechless and silently crying on the phone
So very quietly, so he would not know,
Trying to be strong, trying to hold my own,
“Please don’t leave me on this planet, all on my own.”
You will get better, I think to myself
“You have a great medical team and really great help.

I’m scared for my friend and the love of my love
What a horrible parasite, playing with his life,
I am sure invasive procedures are to come now
How can I be strong? Please tell me babe!! How? How? How?

How can I clear his mind from this leech he has got?
Besides from a miracle, I haven’t got a lot,
The tears don’t stop falling for this beautiful mans mind
“How is he feeling? but still, “Please babe, fight”
“Oh my god I love you, Please don’t leave me behind.”

“I am so in love with your soul, your body and your mind”

He was very calm as he told me on the phone,
“Its no way to tell you, but I have to let you know”
“So now I fight again, I won’t give up”
Poor darling man, the only one I love.

I knew he was sick when I met him of course
But it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
I know he has plans for his brighter future,
But I can’t get past his illness and the message he delivered.

What is even harder, is that we are soul mates and friends
Where’s the cancer vacuum so I can start his life again?
I pray for him constantly, and I wish it was enough
I’m losing faith in faith, I am so scared to lose his love.

Now we’ve found each other, a once in life chance
And I wonder why it is that he has this life and death dance.
Just be with me, I wish that was enough
I don’t want to lose the only man I’ve loved.

He is my sun god, how he loves the warmth
He is my own Archangel M,
An angel from somewhere else,
So why does this poor angel have to go through hell?

(This is for you babes)
I will never leave your side.

I see a nasty man
full of hatred and of beer.
This horrible old man,
the beer conceals his fear.

His fear of life and the person he can be,
his fear of difference and something unroutine.

Standing right behind him,
can he hear his darlings scream?
her scream for better days
when she felt just slightly free.

Her cry for early days
when in him she did believe.

Can he see her pain?
Yes! I think he can

Yet keeps her at a distance and doesn't care
this shameful, pitied, drunk, silly man.

His tongue as a razor,
cutting straight to the heart.
For she is the stronger
he envies her strong, battered, loving heart.

With his blurry speech,
through his blurry eyes,
I don't think he cares,
so why must he fight?

Fighting is the death of wisdom, caring and love,
for the angels sake should the devil rise above.
Only to entwine in a loving eternal waltz.

But this can never be

Shamelessly, unknowingly,
his only waltz is his broth.

So I stand back silently
wishing this to be,
he doesn't know what hes got
She can't take much more
she'll be gone soon,
this I do believe.



FOOD FOR THOUGHT??
All the best everyone.

PLASTIC FANTASTIC.

February 4th 2007 03:21
Ever tried this experiment?
Walk into a shop with your daggiest clothes on, untidy hair, looking sad. Oh my goodness, be patient and wait to be served, you will be looked up and down like you are a gutter bug.

Now, wait a few days, go with your best clothes on, walk with confidence and a smile, for the girls, do the hair and make up to, for the guys, please!! Just do the hair. They cannot serve you fast enough.

Yep, exterior precedence. Funny, the daggy you is still the same person, it's your clothes they don't wanna serve.
HAHA.

PLASTIC FANTASTIC is here. LOUD AND PROUD.
OOPPPSSSSS. There goes that dang media again tapping at our brains. I'm sorry Girls, if Kylie gets cheated on, that certainly means that looks have nothing to do with it.

What a confidence booster for any Man or Woman. Insecure and hellbent on looking a million dollars only for the fact of superficiality. Hey, if youre not wanted because of how you dress or look, then move on, get new friends, don't let yourself be a victim of judgements.

I guess some of us are at a higher emotional level than others, but for me, I see beauty in everyone, the homeless person that people scorn and laugh at, the man talking to himself on the train, hey, i'm sure he's making sense to himself.....he knows what he is saying.

The lonely person that is sitting alone looking sad. They are the ones that need to be shown they are beautiful, they are the ones that need to be shown they are not alone. The quiet one that people talk about. I am sure he or she didn't wish to be so quiet. We judge without considering their previous environments.

I almost feel ill at the thought of our perception of a nice person. Peroxide blonde, size 6, pretty......pretty stuck up and possibly half a brain thats searching for her or him. But yet shes so cool. Treat their friends like dirt but they accept it because it's the in crowd. Demeaning, degrading and worthless....A nice introduction to life. How to get pushed around and feel ugly.

The person sitting alone with the thick glasses and bucked teeth......Possibly the deepest and most passionate, loyal friend you could dream for. Why do we let ourselves be judged by our exterior. Youth is only a gift. When its gone, what do you do? freak on and kill yourself because you have wrinkles and people will hate you.

Thanks again to the media for breeding a society of plastic needs and insecurity.

Be sexy anyway.....you know you are and that is all that matters.
Stay the caring person you are on the inside but please don't let the plastic insecure fantastics take you for granted because they will.

Do the maths.

My ghosts!! Real ghosts!!

Ok, well, Hi there everyone......I broke the cycle with my haunted house.
Seriously, things were moving in the kitchen, knives rattling, pots and pans clanging together in the cupboard and a mysterious pot on the stove that was not there 20 minutes earlier, with the lid sitting perfectly horizontal on the top.

Control and design.

Maybe you have the most expensive car in your driveway. Maybe you cannot afford a car at all. It could be that you are happy living the lifestyle of routine and interfereing families or, do you have a nomadic need of freedom and no bills, just pack you bag and wander free whenver you want with no one to stop you.

Possibly you have grown into adult age battling the fact that your childhood was not normal and secure. Possibly you are facing the word "statistics" in your life
