Right or wrong love makes you do these things

they say that if you're still breathing and alive then you're okay
but I don't think they know what it's like when the memory 
of you comes alive in the silence of the midnight hour
from the window of the bedroom we once shared I watch 
the moonlight pushing shadows across the lawn 
I know it's true when they said I had to move on with my life
but there's no way I can forget when the memories out shine 
the brightest stars 
an inner voice say's don't look happiness in the eye it never bears examination but I never listen 
like a moth drawn to the candle I'm dancing to close to the flame
right or wrong love makes you do these things

Breathing and alive means

Breathing and alive means (for me) that I am not dead. Pain emotional is unavoidable, physically - a way of getting from one Advil to the next. For those who should have loved me and didn't, I give back the numbness...to those who professed love and betrayed or left me (or was not worthy) I give my disdain. I understand my outlook - but the need to be loved is always there like a shadow - and I know there can be no shadow without illumination. ~Star~.

My dear Friend Lady A  I have

My dear Friend Lady A 
I have to agree to the pain part !
In the wee hours of the morning when Mother Nature dictates the daily ritual of Interrupting what little Sleep I was getting demanding a trip across the hall  " Pain " stands out like a billboard along the Interstate Saying Morning Dan Yes Your Still Alive ...... an after years of dealing with the Emotional pain I've decided it to is just a reminder that I'm not completely dead inside
