I feel a deep and utter dispair
Within this soul of mine
Because someone feels I don't care
Enough to tow the line
I understand his hurt
His disbelief and his dismay
His utter shattered being
Because of my lack of things to say
We have shared some beautiful moments
Sometimes of joy, some of pain
But now is time for parting
Will we share these things again?
How can I tell of trapedness?
How can I tell I hurt?
Him - I've hurt to distraction
With manners terse and curt
Could he understand my feelings
Of no longer wishing to be chained
Him to me like "subserviant"
To set him free to gain
Gain a sense of freedom winging
like the peace sign, that of a 'dove'
To give back his soul to keep
To share with joy and love
Chains that have bound us tightly
Three years of torment
Has loved and under stood me
I must set this kind man free
Free to explore his being
I've nobbled of him far too long
To be himself amongst the people he needs
I must hand this to him now
go with love, trust, honesty
My friend of years and bow
Bow to the things that are gentle,
The beautiful, meek and sublime.
Trust what you read here completely
Because all we have is time
Time to adjust to seperate lives, to explore our own true ways
But I will remember what we have had my friend
I will till the end of my days
 
 

The preceeding verse was written by my friend RT, in 1982, two weeks before her defacto shot her and then himself in a murder suicide.   She left behind two wonderful teenage children who have grown into adults that she will be so proud of.
