    • About Me

      Recent divorce, sux hardcore. Love Stephen R Donaldsen ---- "to say farewell" my heart has rooms that sigh with dust and ashes in the hearth, they must be cleaned and blown away by daylight's breath, but i cannot essay the task, for even dust to me is dear, for dust and ashes still recall my love was here, i know not how to say farewell, when farewell is the word that stays alone for me to say, or will be heard but i cannot speak out that word or ever let my loved one go, how can i bear it that these rooms are empty so, i sit among the dust and hope that dust will cover me, i stir the ashes in the hearth though cold they be, i cannot bear to close the door to seal my lonliness away, while dust and ashes yet remain of my love's day -- stephen r donaldsen

I have a loving husband that my father has never met, he is not allowed to be a part of my life right now.
