From where I stand now I can see I'm not your star and never will beYou've started buring me in the sand and even though you see my hand raised above the ground hoping you would reach out and help me surface again you ignore the plea because it's only me I do not shine as bright or make you gasp with anticipation I do not make you want to scream out to the world.. Clasping my hands to my face feeling the trickling streams of tears trying to make their way down my face I remember the affections you've down played for the sake of sparing the feelings of another I realize, I'm not your star and never will be ------------------

This is sad beauty. It really spoke to me, the athmosphere you set from the first stanza, the repetition indicating that it is like a neverending circle, evoking a feeling of "no escape". It is beautiful, and yet so unbelievably sad. I hope it is not something you have to go through. IP: Logged |

Amazingly written. Great words that stir with emotion. It's "burying."Here's my retort: Change your perspective And you will see... You have always been And will always be... The North Star to me. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

The North Star is, of course, the brightest star in the sky...but it also points the weary traveler back home. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

You know what, Teasel?We're too nice. Maybe if we were loud, vulgar and sexually explicite, we'd be more attractive? You know, like how how guys say girls like bad boys? But then again we won't be true to ourselves. For some reason people associate the word NICE with boring which is a big fat lie. And then you get the ones who complain they want someone who's honest, faithful etc but when they have it, it isn't good enough either! Argh, ranting now. IP: Logged |

All this makes me think of Adele's song - Set Fire to the Rain.

I just wanted to make sure you understood the part about pointing home as well. You are quite the antithesis of boring!------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

Beautifully written. Reminds me of how I felt in the past Venus retro. quote: Maybe if we were loud, vulgar and sexually explicit, we'd be more attractive?
A little late, but I have to say I disagree. I think what's attractive in a person is being themselves. And plus, being 'loud, vulgar and sexually explicit' sounds like they're suffering from histrionic personality disorder.

Thanks, Alma and lol. It was just an example of what seems to get some mens attention and yes, some of them actually find it attractive. ------------------ quote: Remember, love can conquer the influences of the planets....It can even eliminate karma.
