I Try Not To Read Between Her Lines

~ Echoes of Orpheus ~

*Read normal first, then highlight and re-read*


She says:


I
don't
love you so much
as you would like


I've always dreamed of
getting stuck with
a man like you
(Prone to nightmares)


You make me sick.
It's in the way you talk,
always vomiting
so fluently in the language of love


You're just so good to me,
between the sheets,
how could I leave?


You support me
financially
as no one ever has before


You're so good to me,
and I hate it.
To me you are a
curse from
God...


I need you,
and can't stand it,
your smile, your embrace,
you're so naive...
like a child...
So senseless,
jumping for joy upon my arrival


I see
everything wrong with my life and
my whole world in you.


I love you now,
but I don't think
I will love you forever.


You are
so far from
perfect for me.
But,
Baby,
So long as it's in my interest,
I love you.





*Not personal or anything, an idea I wanted to try. Wish I could have done more with it*

    Quite a different take once it's highlighted...I think we ALL do that to some extent...kind of telling how it is without telling how it is and HOPING the other person picks up on your vibes...cool stuff. Thanks for sharing :) Snake

    So very cool. If you hadn't told me this wasn't personal, I wouldn't have known. The emotion is there, clear as day. Way to think out of the box. Write on.

    Amazing idea and delivery, as I said before... just too much personal pain as it (tum)bled through my mind.
