Have you ever been hurt...

...so badly that in an instant... the very moment that the careless words are said... your whole foundation is crumbled? The words are said in haste and the Sayer has no thought to the depth of the words. A watchful night is spent, for once I am not trying, I am watching. Not trying to understand, rebuild, get past the hurt, plan my re-introduction. Watching. Watching my spirit encompass the words and what they mean to me. The Sayer does not understand and I do not have the words to explain. I'm on day two since the words and there is no improvement. I am whole but detached. Detachment is new to me. And it scares me how readily my heart accepts it.
