She’s Still Alive

I looked in the mirror this morning

and the woman who once loved you

looked back at me.

I thought she died.

I tried to kill her literally, emotionally

and in every way possible because

I don’t want love that hurts.

I looked in the mirror this morning

and the woman who once loved you

looked back at me.

She’s still alive.

  6. I love the repetition here. It serves to truly emphasis the whole sentiment of the poem. It is lovely, though kind of sad too. ❤️

                  1. Wrestling Elfchens?? No, No, Elfchens are like fairys. Fun, playful and sweet! Don’t be biased against the Dear Little Elfchen!! Just tap your fingers eleven times and put a word with each tap and Magic – an Elfchen! LOL!

                    Don’t
                    Be Afraid
                    Of Little Elfchens
                    Let Them Bring You
                    Happiness!

                    Well, I hope I will be able to persuade you over time to give them a try! Ha!

                    She
                    Saves Up Her
                    Strength So She
                    Can Battle With Her
                    Dragons

                    Look what I found!!
                    Congratulations! I found an Elfchen hiding in your comment above!!! I think it was waiting to come out to make sure you won the fight with the Dragons!!! Your words whispered to me and asked if they can be posted so the world can love them. I told them I would talk to you about it?? I think the world would love them???
                    You are too much fun, Jeanne!! Ha!

                    Hope you are enjoying your Whirlwinding!!
                    xoxo
                    😘💖🌹😁

      1. It was when I was at my very bottom 7 years ago this next Thursday. Sick from my alcoholism. I had the desperation of a dying woman. I fell to my knees, and I found my God. He gave me a new life, and I have by the grace of God been sober since. I know how to live life without numbing myself now. I have the tool, and hope today. So honestly I am all the better for that time in my life! Blessings
