Re: An Ache Too Deep to Fathom

Dramamine.. i had to look it up Richard and it hasn't helped your sickness, a wonderful metaphor you have used.

What a dreadful ache you have, love is like that sometimes..it hurts and "never again" becomes the mantra . :(

"Search for answers but don't dig too deep
Sometimes these answers only make you weep"

This is good advice Seema, as sometimes we do spend a lot of time digging about for answers that are not always there..or bring back sadness from past events. It is hard , but we must move forward.. :)

I missed this heartfelt write somehow Bono, the hurt and grief run hand in hand through every verse.
I especially was drawn to the phrase "I'm unloving love" it says so much about the withdrawal of a loving heart into safety where it will not be given out again.
