It wasn't until I hit the floor,
that I realized you had come after me.
Your hands wrapped around my neck.


I hit the ground hard,
and now I am running.
From the thoughts and the fears.

I hear your breath in the wind,
your voice in the sea,
I see your face in the crowd.

In my dreams,
In the clouds,
In my cereal milk.

I run away from my thoughts unkind,
and then I remember the pain.
The tighter you squeezed the less I breathed.

When you let go,
I felt I was free,
but even today the chains you've left me in.

It's time to break free,
and get away from your greed,
look now, I am gently freed!

OUCH

When all is said
All is done
Still I live
And carry on-

Ringo- Yes to that ouch. I guess now is when picking up the pieces and putting them together and hopefully regardless of what happens and what happened, there aren't any missing pieces.

Bravo! Kellie, time will weaken the dark chains of a violence scared heart. Enjoy your freedom!

Hmmm. Hope all is well. I'm liking your new style, by the way.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Thank You for the comments...
What new style do you speak of? I don't see anything out of place or changed?
