It's as if I'm suffocating

And when you're next to me

I can feel your heartbeat through my skin

It makes me sad to think

This could all be for nothing

I wish there was a way

For you to see inside of me

About anyone or anything

Tell me

What do I have to do to make you happy?

What do I have to do to make you understand?

What do I have to do to make you want me?

But, if I can't make you want me

What do I have to do?

Is there someone in particular that takes your breath away?

There is ... was ...

I don't even know anymore.

Ahh. It's one of those. Those never go away, you know. They linger.

::chokes up::

I was okay with it. I really was. Then a friend of mine put a dagger through my heart.

She told me ... I was hanging on to a childhood love that's never coming back. That I was pathetic and then implied that everyone I care about pities me.

I've never felt so worthless.

You are not worthless.

A heart that hurts for love is one that never stops breaking.

And does this person really speak for all who you care about? Does she really know their hearts as well as she thinks she knows yours?

When you put it that way, no. She can't speak for everyone who knows me.

I'm sorry for dumping this on you. I don't even know your name.

Then why take her word for it? Words that are said to harm, aren't words at all but weapons. And weapons you can dodge.

It's ok. I tend to get "dumped on" a lot. It's my nature to listen.

I'm Psyche. There now you know. *smiles*

::nods, steadying his emotions::

Damien. I think we spoke once before, about my little poem.

I didn't mean to add to the dumping, but I want to thank you for being here. I really needed someone to listen. Even if it was just for a minute.

Yes, we did. I enjoyed that. You have a way with words.

It's alright. I enjoy listening, although sometimes I have a hard time when I can't solve a problem. But that's not my job, my job is to listen and guide, not to solve.

Anytime you need a shoulder to lean on, cry on or just to listen. You feel free to ask. I am always around.

Thank you Psyche.

Just the same. If you need company or if you want to listen to me spout music or silly words ... I'm never far.

You are most welcome.

And I will most likely take you up on that offer. *smiles*

::Offers a smile back::

I look forward to it.

Sounds like something still troubles you.

Hope it works out.

One thing aways seems to get replaced by another. You look better then I would have expected after this much time Chase.

"You make it hard to breathe" just happens to be the first lyric of a really great Stabbing Westward song.

I know who it was from. I am a musician.

It....helps to have a wife that just won't let go.

*smiles some*

Sorry, didn't mean to snub your music knowledge. I suppose I should have expected you to know it.

I envy you. I was just thinking the other day how nice it would be to have a family. I'm the last branch of the family tree in my mother and fathers line.

::Allows himself to smile back, the grudge had been held long enough::

I got tons of kids I look after.

I run a teen center in NYC so I'm around them all the time. It's just a place for them to go so they don't end up like me.

I recall you mentioning that. Hows your never ending crusade to keep kids off the streets going? Well I hope. There's nothing worse then having to watch kids suffer.

It's going well. Surprised how many come through with the thought of a three meals a day, game room, music room for the lil music bugs, and computers, Plus I tend to help some through college.

I am now degreed to be an ass and stick my nose in other people's business and try to help. *smirks*

Its a noble enough cause. Though I imagine frustrating, certain dumb people have a hard time excepting good advice, if its something they don't want to hear.

It's what my grandmother did. When I was little she used to take me with her and I watched her and wanted to be like her. I was tossed off that course until people helped me find my balance. So went through with it.

No one likes to be told they are wrong.

Ain't that the truth.

*smirks* Especially my wife.

So?
