She might be the salve for his wounds
But, her’s were wounds he could feed

Others Failed To Notice
How alike they were in core modes where it mattered.
Investing Wisely
She might be viewed as a tease
If so, she was an honest tease
With payment

“Waitin’ On Me” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 3, 2026
Out of touch
Without your touch
Gotta get out of
This dippin’ rut
Oh Baby
I just
Want you
So much
Can’t you see
It’s tearin’ at me?
No
You can’t ’cause
I hide it too much
But
You wouldn’t want me
To display it openly
Unless we knew
We knew for sure
‘Cause I can’t just
Give this to anybody
You’ve got a home
Here deep inside me
Waitin’ while
I’m hesitatin’
Until I know
It’s you for me

Ache
She kept feeling like she was missing her chances with him.

“In Love Again”
Beavers Restored Land Devastation After Mt. St. Helen’s Eruption in 1980
Crush
It was hard to keep being strong – to keep showing a pleasant and neutral face because she was not going to be the downfall of some passing stranger’s fragile day.
But when she returned to the car these days, she could feel her energy suddenly crash by significant degrees from just maintaining effort.
“What Do I See?”

(For some reason, the word trips me up when I try to pronounce it – ha!)
Baby,
“I know that you are used to being a force to be reckoned with.
But please don’t fault me for having caution – especially when it comes to protecting our sanctity”
(Been Undone – Peter Gabriel, Dark-Side Mix)
My Love,
“I need you to come right up to me and introduce yourself.
Our start doesn’t need to be – and likely won’t be perfect.
Even if I flinch and seem to shut down, don’t buy into it.
I see so many versions of you lately that it’s all I can do to dig into my space and hold myself together as I quiver inside wanting so much to just reach out and claim you as my own.
I am likely projecting a vibe of ‘stay away’ around me.
But it’s because I don’t want to make a wrong move with a ‘wrong’ guy…
I just want you by my side.”
Devotion
Some people do not deserve it
Yet others deserve it and more

Only Us – We Both Miss It
(Rain – SVW, slowed + Reverb)
It Was No Accident
Well, Yeah
I dream in spaces
See you breathe
Perfect
Weightless
Crystal waters
Choose
Eyes like fire
Bite through wires
Higher pathway
Sharpest teeth
Patient reset
Waking
See me
Drifting
You know
My desire
Come now
Back to Eden
Reaching For You
I know, I know
But I want to know
What you know
The Promise
Could it be trusted?
They both stood at opposite ends on cliff edges to either side of The Great Divide – yearning, but still unable to see each other clearly.
Wondering…
Hoping…
Praying…
(Watching over You – Nu Aspect & Marlo Rex, Extended)
Quite Honestly,
She had not been sure that he would have considered her, in the first place.
Obsession
She had never considered herself to be capable of such behavior, although she had invested in high levels of commitment so far unmatched and unrivaled in past tanked relationships and seemed to be capable of even greater expansion when inspired.
Bitterness
It seemed that she had still not found something that she could depend upon.
Waiting For The Sun
She wanted the man whose capacities were equivalent in breadth and depth to her own emotional intelligence.
(What U Want – Music P & Marque Aurel)
“Tell Me…”
(Movin’ Right Along – Muppet Sing Along)
Parallel Tracks
Narrowed fields of vision
Along gaptic crossways
Make it near unfathomable to
Work several projects linearly
Thunk!
“I got a deep hip adjustment when I extended my leg out for a stretch while on my back.
Maybe I’m closer to some better tracking!”
(Winter Moments – Rostislav Khalikov)
Love You, Baby
Be The Good
Gladys Ingle Changing Airplane Tires, 1920’s
Stress Jolting
Suddenly being woken up from the neighbors pounding nails loud-repeatdly into their roofing’s pummeling richochets against her outer bedroom wall and straight through her body was a disastrously immediate recipe for her body cortisol dumping.
Crummy Dreams
She dreamed that her ex-husband had died and she’d had to tell her children.
But when she went looking for the proof, found him alive and ran face to face with his preferred girlfriend.
Though greatly relieved on one count, she did not need to experience the deep pain from the death nor the encounter.
No one was there to comfort her.
(Afterlife – Nu Aspect, Jewels & MAGNUS)
Honey,
“I can’t sleep…”

Male Inferiority
“It is extremely rude and cowardly that certain men work upon women’s needs and insecurities to get into bed with them – only to leave them more hurt and defenseless.”

What, About Now?
She still had obligations, but they weren’t the same as before…
And even though she discovered that she had some defaults, she was willing to work past them to be more receptive if he would convey clearly that he wanted her.
