i will always run...

[upsetmyheart]

reach for me...
i will run.
shrinking at your touch,
i cannot withstand your presence.
why do you ignore my odium?
i know my body,
my heart,
my thoughts.
they've been with you;
owned and ravaged,
torn down...
set ablaze.
why do you still reach for me?
what have i of yours?

As I sit here on vacation in Estes by the fire, I am moved by your poetry...I can't help but think of the irony that you are serving across the country and writing and I sit here in a 2 bedroom vacation home in the mountains... somehow it doesn't seem fair. I wish you many mountainous vacations...

yeah. i think about the irony of that often. it isn't fair, but then again, what is? i chose this life. i knew what i was getting into, and i wanted to be here. i feel as though maybe i am making some sort of difference somehow by allowing my eyes to be opened to another world (in the very least...) i am so happy to know you are thinking of me and reading what i post.

thank you, friend.
