I hurt in places that you brought back from the dead. Now I have to lay them to rest again.

I loved him... much more than I liked him. And therein was the beginning of the end.

I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I've found out Ghosts don't hide under my bed or in my closets either. They exist in plain sight - every day; Conjured up by 'our song' playing on the radio. By the mailman's blue eyes that are so like yours I could get utterly lost in them. They come as raindrops, kissing my skin... the way you used to. Ghosts are everywhere.

I'm not simple. Loving me will never be easy. I bring every travesty that's rocked me- with me, to the table. I won't pretend to be something I'm not, and I don't expect you to be blemish free either. That's much too boring of an existence. A past means you've lived, you've prevailed. My ears are open. My heart is accepting. I want to know how you are. I want to know what made you... and I want to feel free to share the 'not so pretty' parts of me, with you.

I'm still in love with the parts I believed to be true. All the lies that began and ended with 'I love you'.

I'm tired again this morning. Was I sleepwalking in your nightmares again last night?

In case you didn't know... You are her. The one he let get away.

I never asked anything of him, yet he gave me everything. He did not run...

I never needed a Man. I needed a Viking. Furthermore, I needed someone who wasn't afraid of my strengths, or of my needs. Furthermore, I chose wrong... in the past. Furthermore, I thought I had to find someone who could put up with my hunger for life. But I was so damn wrong. I needed a Viking. I needed someone who would admire all the things about me that tepid men were intimidated by.

I saw a sadness shivering in his eyes that night. They resemble a heart flat-lining. I wanted to ask him what put it there, but he blinked... and it was gone. And I knew that a man who could control pain so exquisitely had no business paying with my heart.
