This one was originally a song in my head....but having never written the music down, it is for now a poem....
slowly before you,
my pain in my hands
reaching out for comfort,
hear me crying as I land

i try to breathe
the air sticks in my lungs
collapsing inside me,
the way it always does

unravel
unravel
turn away as i unravel

the pieces fall apart
and i lose them one by one
these nights are my undoing,
far from reason, far from sun

through grief, one shines
so watch me as i glow
a room of staring silence...
with no where else to go

unravel
unravel
close your eyes as i unravel

the crumbling tiny pieces
of who i used to be
see them drown in expectations
for the person who was me

i once was strong
i once was wise
but those who love me
close their eyes

unravel
unravel
pull the thread as i unravel

i thank you God for most this amazing day;for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky - ee cummings

Very emotional write, samantha...great job...I'll bet it would sound wonderful with music!

sp

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

Welcome to Passions.

This was a tenderly touching piece.
