Now I see

I brought you

Into my thoughts

Snagged you in

My spin

When I believed

I had a place

In my head

That belonged

Just to me

Now I see

That it’s not

About

You and me

It’s a

We

Where I go

You with me

Now I see

Me

In your

Jumbling tumbling

Earth quaking

Thinking

Falling asleep

At the wheel

Waking sleep

From your dream

Head aching from

Repressing a scream

Now I see

You

In my

Insanity

Suffering from

Been there done that

I do

Chronically

Now I see

Wanting understanding

Put you

In my shoes

And tied up the laces

On those hurting places

That belonged

Just to me
Now you know

Me

Much too well

Welcome to my

Hell

Been there...and that's why I'm staying.

You know.

Sometimes as much as we do it is never enough.

Love your picture, it's nice to see you, beautiful girl.

This is a great write, I find. We all have our own hell to keep under control and only a few will be enough courageous and sensitive to "assist" us in the task.

Love,

Lori - I think that if we invited more people into our hell there would be a lot more compassion in the world but we are the great pretenders, are we not?
