It is difficult for me not
knowing when
to step aside
letting go is never easy
I find myself confused
wanting to be helpful
not knowing what to do
you need to tell me clearly
for I am at a loss
it seems I'm trapped within
this empty cube
accompanied by my
lonely thoughts
and list of options
I could choose
it is difficult for me not
knowing when
to step aside
for all the writing that I do
somehow my feelings
remain
suppressed, hidden, confused
accompanied
by tears and silence
not knowing what to do
please talk to me
maybe if we both
verbalize
we can solve
misunderstanding
and embrace with love
our shared yet separate voyage
on this ship called
life and love

There are some people I just can't talk to - the words won't come out of my mouth. These are the people I write to. I can express how I feel without the blocks of their responses.
goldennib, I am so dam busy trying not to step on toes, I can't talk at all.
Please talk to me ... nothing easier to say and harder to do.
Pauline, I understand.
Hi Pauline! Interesting write.
Open communication is powerful yet not easy. When or where do we draw the line without being curt or hurt one another deeply? We're humans with fragile egos. Can we demand openness without limit?
I guess the baseline is knowing self and confident that our actions and words are just as open for another to reciprocate...
especially in love and life!
Mind you, man and woman communicate differently...guess that makes the world round! Sometimes too stressful but challenging though.
I am probably the person that steps on toes... it is difficult to formulate words with clarity at times. I write then. Sometimes I'm quiet because I do not feel it is my place. Knowing the path to take is one thing... taking it is another. Sometimes I simply ask if we can talk, do they want to share... whatever feels best... waiting and not knowing is very difficult.
Some speak in words, Some in images and others in music.
No guarantees that others will understand.
sometimes the fault lies with those who try and communicate. we hide our feelings behind the images or words in such a way that the depth of the meaning will never be found
have a great weekend

Hi Pauline! Hoho...I stepped on toes! Thank you for your graciousness. Please pardon my presumption. Thanks for clarifying -- the mother-daughter relationship. Hope and prayers. Cheerio.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to know when to step in and when not to. I find with certain friends I have trouble putting into words what I need to. Others I am comfortable with. I hope you find the words you need to use.
This is very moving! Beautiful. I cannot believe how you put things into words - you are so very talented.
