irreparable


When Dumbfiddle's doohickey
went on the fritz,
they took it apart
to fix up the bits.

They unwound the winder,
and loosened the lid
that unsprung the springles,
and scattered her wits.

i can't really explain why, or when i began to realize this about you -

your life, your existence on this earth, your writing, you yourself, cat have affected my life and my heart, a heart that isn't always very capable of reaching out to feeling admiration and affection.

you are an amazing human being. you life is precious.

just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate you.

Hi there! Good to see you on IF again. Y'know, I'd have submitted one this week, but my computer was also on the fritz! Just got it back and am trying to catch up on work stuff.
Are you feeling better now?

Hehehe! Awesome!

Broken she is,
and broken she remains.
How she functions,
none can explain.

I have often felt like that...most days as a matter of fact.

I 'love' this. It is so good to see you back.

Brilliant and I would expect nothing less.

Why the MRI's if you told me why already blame it on me for being so self absorbed.

I now the clicking in the machine and now I hope I don't start hearing die die die.

Love Renee xoxo
