**Breathe, one, two, three, wait before jumping over the edge.**
Mine is a cursed heart and was the moment I told the tall, lanky man that I wanted to kiss him.  Who knew he’d kiss me back, or that kiss would send me spiraling out of control?  Since that moment, I took to writing love letters.  I write letters of love, of anger, or loss, of ache, or pain, and from almost the same instance, we started our love affair, I wrote ‘love me no more’ letters, and please ‘ release me letters’.  I beg him to be strong and not contact me—since I am the weaker one—but apparently he is weaker than I since he has never truly let me get too far away or go too long without pulling me back in.  He goes silent for a while, which hurts at first but I gradually resume normal breathing until he pops up in my instant message window, and we tango, spare, and begin again.

Some people blog to tell a story, to confess, to become famous, and then there are those of us who come out of the closet with their heartache with the wild notion of self-curing.  I don’t know if that will happen here or not, but there isn’t anything to be lost.

Over the edge, and damn the rules….

To the left of me is solid and lanky dead asleep.  To my right in the corner under the watercolor is my computer.  Inside of me is my muse pushing me out of my bed away from a solid known quantity to the right hand corner of my room where the blank white word document and blinking curser are waiting impatiently.  She woke me from a peaceful and physically sated deep sleep, solid and lanky is responsible for this.  My nasty muse saw a woman today in red boots, they were not the sexy sort with pointy toes, high heels, nor were they sporting the words Tony Lama.

I have a weakness for all three. 

I was seven when I had my first chocolate glazed donut at Ray’s Donut shop (the original Krispy Kremes).  One bite of the fluffy, sweet, creamy, chocolate, pasty and I was borderline addicted.  I didn’t think there could be anything finer, and if asked what I thought was the best moment ever, I would respond, “Eating one of Ray’s donuts.”  At least that was my response until I saw Mario without his Haynes v-neck white shirt the summer before I entered high school.

If only….

If only, there were as many hotdog buns as wieners
If only, there were as many parking spots in the Bart parking lot as there are drivers
If only, there were as many rehab centers and programs as there are actors

If only, there was a store that sold single socks to pair with the ones eaten by the dryer
If only, there was a fast food chain that sold calorie smart meals 
If only, there was a book with all the answers to the questions yet asked
