Had a bad day, too, yesterday. :hug:

Since you like poetry, I'll share the poem I wrote yesterday afternoon w/you (please tell me honestly what you think, ok? Thanks):

"Now I have Time"

I have time to think about it
while the sun finds its way into the living room
even with the windows closed
even with the curtains drawn

Now I have time
just a few minutes alone
to think about why
I tried to be your friend and you tried to be mine

It would have never worked, you know
no matter how hard each of us tried
or one of us tried

And I told another friend of mine,
a friend who tries harder than you,
to tell you what I'm really like
when I'm gone

How vain is that? I laugh at myself, now,
to think my heart could ever be illustrated
is such a way

How can anyone else say
what even I cannot...

I never meant to hurt you
and for my sanity, I have to believe
you never meant to hurt me

The day is almost gone
and my time alone is nearly over
All I really wanted to say, I think,
is I didn't mean for it to end this way

Some things are just destined to end badly
That is something I'm certain of
because there is no way to make some things
better
No matter how much we try

And we will never know the reasons why

Now the warmth from the sun is almost gone
And the last days of Autumn seem to be
almost running away

It should serve as a reminder
not to waste time

There's really nothing more to say.
