Closer
I cannot allow it though it nags me incessantly, ever more insistent: “You promised! YOU promised!!”
And I did. And I thought I could, and I know I do but still something inside me prevents its release.
Something I do not fully know; for I cannot say I do not know it, can I? It is inside of me, has probably always been there. At least as long as the other, or I would be no longer.
And so, though I could not recognise it, I must know it. I hope it is enough.
I hope that on that day, those days (for it is but one of many and each must have its day – so hope indicates I shall receive a salvation, of sorts) ever-closer, perhaps, it will turn inside out to protect me there as it protects me now. Protects me and protects you, though it is not around its charge.
It just watches, intervenes…almost never.
If ever.
I cannot say for that it does obscure, and perhaps that is what it does: it does and by revealing hides itself again.
For if it is unknown to me then the other cannot use me against it and so be free.

In response to a question I've been asked, the answer is yes, the following may plunder any of my so-called 'mind dumps' or even any of the other, unfinished stuff to do with as they will. If you find anything there, of course.
The mind dumps are on the Templeton Grove blog.
The only caveat is: please let me see the finished article; just so I can see what you've done with it.
Here is the list, using your blogger name and working down my list (with name of blog beside most):

Rory/And so it goes
RedEgg
ColonialAvenue/Crazy World
MarriedMan

Hermes/MrUnderhill
