Don't Look |

I am a shadow in the dark. Don't look - a victim who still bears the mark. Don't look. I am a whisper in the wind. Don't look - a sinner caught, who never sinned. Don't look. I am a shipwreck far from land. Don't look – you see it in my shaking hand don't look. My scars reveal the hurt of me. Don't look. But only you can set me free – Don't look. Don't look away! Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

This is so true, and how well you do it the drawing in and then the meaning coming so clear... as always.. truly, as always. Don't look away and please, please don't pull away... that's what I'd like to say, because I think that too much pain makes people pull away sometimes.. cannot take it? Do not know what to do? or simply... too exhausting...? Anyway, thank you so much for posting this so that I could find it and read it today.. and perhaps tomorrow and another day and another... strange how sometimes words on a page simply can help your heart .. not heal, but stop bleeding so hard.. if only for a little while.
