A few nights ago
I fell apart.
I remembered suffering
a broken heart.
They call it a flashback
I call it a nightmare
I never chose to remember.
I sat here and cried
with total abandon.
Like the child I was
when that terrible thing happened.
The pain was as real
as it was that day.
When my mother
let them take us away.
I try so hard to overcome
to find a way to let go.
And just when I think
I have found that place.
It rears it's ugly head
as if to say...
"Never forget that I am here"
I thank my friends who
sat and wondered
about this friend
who lost control.
For without them
I know not what
I would have done...


To explain this if I can I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I had a really bad flashback the other night.  This is a Thank you to two special people who helped me throught it.
Richi and Gloria you guys rule.
I love you both.

I'm glad you have such good people for friends. After family, friends are the most important thing in life, I don't know what I would have done without mine.
Thanks for sharing, I hope you're much better now.
Take Care!

Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love"
