Please Don't Leave This Way

August 17th, 2012


Place your hand in mine so that I may hold you again. Allow me to feel the power of your touch as your blood pulsates through my palm. I want to feel the softness of your skin and the contours of your fingers as they fold into mine. Touch me, send chills through my arm, and make me melt.

Pull me in and hold me close. Touch your shoulder into mine as you embrace me. Feel my muscles flex with desire as your skin burns mine, and we fuse together. Bend your neck away so I may tuck my head into you. Feel my breath as I breathe heavily from your touch. Allow my hand to rub your back, letting the friction of my hands create a relaxed state of pleasure.

Look at me. Tell me that you miss me. Remind me how things used to be. Whisper something in my ear so I may giggle like a kid again. Let me smile and brighten your day as it slowly forms on my face. I see my teeth constantly because I am happy. Pull away but keep me nearby, holding my hips. Gaze into my eyes.

Talk to me without saying a word. Examine the details of my eyes as I examine the details of your face. Give me the sign so I may lean in and kiss your cheek. Turn your head so I can raise my hand and touch your chin. Allow me to softly tilt it back towards me as I look at your lips. Guide me to you and draw my lips in.

Kiss me like you used to, and remind me why we were meant for each other. Tell me how special it is and how hungry you are for more. Glide your lips across mine and feel my tenderness. Lock your lips, sealing them with love. Hold your breath until you have to exhale and breathe new life into me. Have me feel the vibration of your lips as you tremble with delight. Let me know if you're all right.

Rub my face with heartfelt compassion and caring fingers. Lull me to sleep with your dedication to my well-being. Let me know I'm your only one, even if it's for just one night. Speak the language of love by showing me your desire. Remind me what we used to be and who we are. Care for me more than just making love. Give me your attention above everyone else so I know I still matter, and remind me of our possibilities.

Help me to never forget and never regret by showing understanding. Think before you talk before letting me go. Pull me in before you push me off. Tell me you love me before you cast me away. Kiss my neck instead of being so mad you'd instead wring it. Let me know you still care without saying a word, so you don't have to force me to believe. Don't allow your blood to boil when your heart should let it pulsate with happiness, not despair. Tremble not out of fear but out of your butterflies. Hold my hand tight because you know I'm always there. Don't just stand there and look at me with disgust; please keep me near. Don't turn your back on me because I can't see your smiling face. Don't fade away, don't leave this way. Stay and talk to me, even if it's just for a little while. I'm sorry you want it this way, but now you're too far and can't hear these words. I say, "I love you. And please, don't leave me this way."

    Chris I understand this completely. I lost my husband in July. I look forward to sleep because he just might be there in my dreams. My nightmares begin when I wake up and he's not there.

"Far Away"

You are here: Home » "Far Away" May 5th, 2012 For mommy in heaven… My kids wouldn't let me sleep last night. I kept them busy all afternoon and evening, yet they were still very hyper. I picked Nico up from school at 2:00 o'clock P.M. and decided to take them for a road trip to Broward County. It's a close drive from where we live. I am just one county over to the north. I didn't feel like going home and falling into the same routine. I wanted to stimulate the boys so that they would sleep later that night. Honestly, maybe we all could get some sleep that night. It's hard to get motivated in life when you are sleep-deprived. Nico leaves class about 10 minutes earlier than the rest of the school. Since he was a premature baby, he has had a learning delay with speech. The State of Florida placed him in a program called Early Steps. It's a great program, and it allows him to catch up to the rest of his peers academically so that by the time h...

Hi Mama. Bye Mama

You are here: Home » Hi Mama. Bye Mama. June 26, 2012 Hi mama. Bye, mama. And so it goes. Up the street, hi, mama, down the street, bye, mama. The boys know where they can find mommy. It's just down the road, a path we take every day. Everywhere we go. We go with the flow. Hi mama. Bye, mama. It always starts the same, the familiar path of the road the boys have become accustomed to. It doesn't matter what we do; we will always pass right on through; regardless of how we travel, mom will always be on their left or their right. She's never too far out of sight. Hi mama. Bye, mama. The boys anticipate the car ride. They look on either side as we drive by, seeking a clear view of their mama to be seen through. They eagerly await with no other thought on their plate. They are just waiting for the moment to see their number one visually. Hi mama. Bye, mama We are getting closer now; they look at Dad, their pal. Their smiles reach from ear to ear, knowing the time is near...

Anatomy of a Loss

You are here: Home » Anatomy of a Loss July 5, 2012 When you lose someone that you love and that you depend on, it feels like everything around you has just crashed and burned. It doesn't matter what is happening in the world because yours just got charred beyond recognition. You are forced to reprogram everything about you. Who you are. What your path in life was. The goals you had planned. Everything before the death of a loved one is scraped.  Your mind wanders about aimlessness, and you just go over your mind time and time again about how you will be able to do it. Where do you go from here? You are afraid and bewildered because you are unsure what to do and who to turn to. You find that you question God and yourself and examine everything about your life.  The doubts set in about yourself, and you want to return to the day before so badly just to reassure yourself that everything ...
