2003

I cried a lot that year
while George Harrison
played "Give me Love",
I wore sunglasses in February
and packed up the house
Forestiere by the lake.

That year was the year
my jeans fell to my ankles
and I looked bliss in a bikini.
I sat on the beach
and watched the yachts,
no-one knew my heart
would never be the same.

And now, here we are
a decade or nearly,
since the day my world ended
and here I am
a survivor of sorts,
I have a lot of hair
and a little more flesh,
I still watch the yachts
but now I send out invites
and co-ordinate.

I so wish my heart
was co-ordinated too.

I cry too much
when he sings
"Give me Love"

Certain pains, never end.

I'm sure most of us have that one song from the past that still and always will take us back there where "certain pains never end." I know I have mine. And perhaps we need it, a touchstone, because those pains are part of who and why we are.
