She broke what I had
my heart and soul
with her they fled

She left me empty
except for a feeling
a feeling of love
a feeling of hate

A love of one lost
a hate for myself

why did I let go
what I loved most
or was this piece
taken from me

I no longer care
for this shallow world
or for the riches gained

what are these
when one is lost
what can these cure

though she broke
my heart and soul
I am left here
as an empty person

Will...I had no idea. You're good buddy. Do write these things out of feelings you've had, or do you submerge yourself in imaginging the despair?
-Kathryn G.

Thanks. I write on feelings I have, usually. I don't think I really submerge myself on purpose.

Go read Phillipians.
"And this I write that your JOY may be full...."

fa-so-la-la said...

Sorry, I believe that was from 1st John! Either book would od you good come to think of it.
"For this cause I JOY and REJOICE with you all...."

X said...

I have joy. Just can't express it very well.

Today's asignment for Will:
Sing the "I'm so happy" song at least a dozen times, at the top of your lungs. You might try running through a sprinkler while you do it.

It goes like this:
Do do do do la, do re do do so, do ti ti ti la so so la so mi etc.

Surely you know it?

K-- They arise cheifly from what is passing at the time. I do sometimes amuse myself by writing down such little delicate moanings such as are always acceptable to... oh, whatever.

X said...

I'm so happy, oh so happy... forgot the rest. I don't like my assignment. Can I change it? LOL

I'm happy, see :)

So Will, if these things you write are written out of experience (usually), am I right in assuming that a "she" has really done all this to you...broken your soul, left you as an empty person...I was under the impression you were all good in that department. But of course I'll take your word for it and I don't know you that well. Perhaps you have a "past"...spoken in a whisper with a sympathetic glance in your direction over the spectacles, while the knitting needles click..."they say she broke his heart, and you know he's been such a cynic ever since! It's really too bad...such a handsome young man too!" "Well, my neice Betty would do very nicely for him, but he won't give her the time of day!" "Still mourning." -said with a knowing, decided expression.

X said...

Yes you assume correctly, well sort of, it depends on what you think a broken soul or and empty person is. And what exactly do you mean that you thought I was good in this department? And what department are you speaking of?

Don't worry, if your niece Betty is right for me and destined to be, this will not be a hinderance. LOL, that time is still far off.

Well, I was assuming that the "she" in your poem was a girl you had feelings for, so "that department" was the girl you like department. Or am I being too shallow in assuming this?
And I assumed you are all good there by sitting back and observing your age group over the past year or so...one picks up on things you know, if one watches for oneself and doesn't take someone elses word for it. A close friend is maybe all, and that is enough right now. But of course you know that.
Now "Betty" is a wonderful girl...she is only 35, still young, flaming red hair always worn in pigtails and with bountiful freckle and she has this obsession with cats...hope you like cats. She's just perfect for you Will! Oh yes, and she's always laughing...very loudly...at EVerything.

My dearest, dearest Will,

May I convey to your tortured soul the same most sincere condolences I endeavored to express during our conversation at dinner Sunday last:
"...unk...gulk...ung-ung...unk---unk...[slurp]...unk...ung...---"

MOST sincerely,
Collins

(whispering to Will)

*You will need to either read or watch Pride & Prejudice to fully appreciate the previous remark, left by anonymous. Highly recommended. Will clear up many veiled references for you, actually.*

muchos love, QS/AL

fa-so-la-la said...

I would say read and watch, actually....

X said...

multifarious, the girl I like department that you think I am good in is not as you assume. Though she is a good friend, she is not the one in that department. That department is not even a real department with me if you understand what I am trying to say. Close friend, but nothing else. (As I keep trying to tell the Queen, but you know the Queen's stubborn way.)

I am sorry about "Betty". Assuredly someone has told you that I loathe cats. Reason being is that I have been attacked by quite a few. 1, 2, 3,... So I am not really a cat fan. Does her flaming red hair affect her attitude or not. She seems like a nice girl but a little to old for me. Sorry "Betty".

Queen, I have only watched Pride & Prejudice about 10 times or so but am not in it right know so I quite don't know what Mr. Collins is talking about.

I don't I will be reading Pride & Prejudice anytime soon. Sorry Fa-So-La

fa-so-la-la said...

WEll, if you CHOOSE to cheat yourself of one of the most enjoyable books ever written, that's your problem I suppose. I weep for you! :sniff sniff:

ithchick said...

In that girl department, 3 words:

OH YEAH RIGHT

X said...

I think that I shall read it some time, but not right now. Sorry Fa-So-La.

Now to you ithilienprincess, Do you know my heart? Do you know my thoughts? And surely the only actions that you see are of me at HH. How dare you say that I like someone. Unless you consider to love the same as to like. (In which you are still wrong) I will say that I have liked girls before, and still like them in general. But to say that I like a specific girl for the "Girl I LIKE department" (at this present time) is over anything I have ever thought. Though I do hang around one at HH quite a bit, you are quite mistaken in my actions. A good friend is more important than about anything else to me, which she has become. I would rather have a good friend then a thousand 'shallow' ones. Someone in who I can utterly trust. So don't worry about it at all. I will not at anytime be pushed to say or will feel differently on this subject. I will not change my actions in any way that would help persuade the arguement to either side. I mean what I say and will not change it. You may however think what you like (As wrong as you are) and say what you like. This be an answer to you all who think alike. Get out of the general train of thought. Be different. DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.

Okay, now that I have offically gone over board, I will sign off.

ithchick said...

I didn't mean a word of what I said. I just wondered if I could get a reaction, and how big it would be!
Hope I didn't bother you too much.

X said...

Nice. ithilienprincess, who are you exactly, just so I know who I am talking to. Did you get the reaction you wanted. I have got a hundred different ones if you want another. (You will probably get a different response next time you make a statement like that) I shall try and make it interesting next time instead of a blunt no.

ithchick said...

I am Rebecca the Brown One

X said...

Oh. LOL. I should have guessed. Well, shall I hold you notebook ransom until you start being nice to me.

ithchick said...

You already gave it to the Bruces, or so you claimed.

X said...

Mabye I lied. Well, no, I didn't. Remember, you don't say anything about my "BP" problem or I will spread your "BP" problem if you know what I am talking about. LOL. Just Kidding. I am not that mean. See yall at BC if possible.

ithchick said...

If you lived a little closer and I had a gun.........Hate cannot be properly expressed in words. You lied to me? I want my notebook!!


(Just kidding, I still like you, but, wow, you're annoying sometimes. You have effectively sealed my lips for now and all eternity)

X said...

I didn't lie to you. Stop hating me. You will have to get in line to shoot me. Glad I got something across to you. (Annoying as I may be) Sorry, but I had to say something to get you to cool down. Hey, annoying can be mistaken for persistent. LOL. Just Kidding. I don't care if you joke or whatever. I was just having fun. Hope your not to mad at me.

ithchick said...

I will never hate you Will. There are too few good basses in the world. No hard feelings?

X said...

I have never had any ill will towards you. I doubt that I ever will. Oh, I am not a true bass. Baratone (sp) is more my range, even a tenor on most songs. I just sing bass because I can hit the notes without straining much.

ithchick said...

You spell it baritone, and you still have a wonderful voice.

X said...

Sorry, wasn't paying enough attention. Thank you. (though I don't agree)
