Original Sin  

 

 

“I had a choice. Susan was leaving for Alaska to become a photographer, and I could go.

Jason had just been born. Lynn and I no longer even spoke to each other, and I had "confessed" to my affair. Lynn was crushed. I was alone with my choice. There was no choice, I stayed and tried to fix it. The final chapter began.”

 

“I thought it would be easy but it's not,

looking at what's there has become impossible

for the well is too shallow. In choosing not to loose it all

I lost all the depths possib1e.”

 

“My ultimate loss provided the total gain for if I can just stand the pain

while "again" rages in my mind, I'll find my feet walking down the street

in the directions of tomorrows.”

 

“Inertia holds the core people to earth while options beg filling,

glances to the countryside are forbidden.

Life can be a journey in a tunnel if you allow yesterdays to remain painful

in the hours of today.”

“In dreams, Susan, pictures were drawn that did paint fond tomorrows,

and while we didn't know our final result

it was our being that changed our lives.

I miss you desperately.”
