Memories of #Ossipee, and what could have been (if there wasn't danger and betrayal from a narcissist involved). How do I purge the feelings but not the memories? The name "Ossipee" is everywhere around here, but I'm not moving! And I'd burn the box of things, but that would mean destroying a part of myself. How could I burn my #Waterboys and #WorldParty concert tickets? The colored pencil sketch of #PeterPan? The #Fairie #StainedGlass piece on the Magic of Friendship (maybe not his, but so many others).
"I saw the watchman
He was blowing into
Cupped hands
As he walked to the car
He said 'Where do you think
You're drivin' to, Son?
All good folks are in bed
And a day's work is done'
"I said 'I'm just looking for
Someplace to burn
All the things
All the things that she gave me...
All the things that she gave me
Where do I put them?
Where can I hide them
Where I won't have to see them?' "
