Sometimes when people are confused
or, maybe embarrassed
they put out mixed messages

it leaves the confident a bit confused
yet, a good friend will accept the surface for a while
since that’s what the other person feels comfortable sharing

he says “it’s not that way”
even if she knows there’s more,
she’ll help him feel okay

a person can listen
a person can see
a person can feel what can’t be seen and heard

    mixed messaging is the defense mechanical maniac mess in all of us.

    you are very perceptive justam. :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    well stated!!!
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    You are perceptive Justam and very compassionate...unconditional love...a very beautiful thing and that person is lucky that you can see through the barriers...I hope that they are aware and do not take advantage of that in you...please be careful of those that wish to rob that from you and keep on loving... :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    Thank you for the kind words. :)

    I have no idea about what the people I love are aware of. It's sort of mysterious to me quite often!!

    That was so refreshing. Lovely ending.
    K-The lost will do their best to get home, if they are loved. To our soldiers who have given what they had.
