Special Delivery!
The door bell rings..
You approach,
I'm dumbfounded, all intelligence has abandoned me,
to which you smile, you smiled! OMG that smile!
I fall apart...
A million tiny pieces scattering across the floor,
never have I felt this way before!
Paralyzed, frozen, I am unable to react!
Your words,
bounce about, within me,
like electric ping pong balls,
While mine,
are firmly stuck in my throat.
My delivery man,
you stand before me,
with an inadequate meal in hand,
unaware,
I hunger naught for what's in the bag,
don't you understand!
I'm scattered all over the floor,
never, have I felt this way before...

Loud Silence
My life is somewhat stressful right now. Actually, my husband and I are somewhat stressed right now. With the usual stresses of work, finances, and life, my mother-in-law has terminal cancer and is fading fast. At the time of this writing, she is stable, and we have help from cousins to see her, spend time with her, and help with her care.
