You can always tell

when the last of the box is done.

If it was mum

in the garbage it goes.

The children leave it lying

where they dumped out the last crumbs.

The doctor was glad we caught it in time.

I am happy to be able to reduce the pain.

Recovery should go well.

My body told me it was ill

and I am glad I listened.

Trauma’s of the past

Regurgitated.

Sending the shock waves

back inside.

Capture the feelings

but no matter how hard

sometimes we can never forget.

Energy used no longer available.

Crisis panic to kickstart.

Ambition quashed as reality demands.

Creative endeavors used for escape.

Looks like it is the end of the road.

Tine to heal and time to manage.

Hopefully time will also help and not hinder.

Rage is encouraged by the disappointment.

Frustration is amplified by the fear.

Compassion seeks to come forward.

But empathy is caught by sympathy and strangled.

All I want is to understand the situation.

Instead I find myself wishing to just turn off.

These emotions hurt and I am tired.

So, so tired.

Some people learn quickly.

Show them once and they head onward.

Most other people take more time.

Though some experiences are left as only a single time.

Like eating something and finding it not to your liking.

Or doing an activity that leaves you terrified.

Unfortunately some things get repeated

even if you already learned the lessons given.

But the one thing we all get to do once

and not look back upon

is death.

Best friends.

Lovers.

Tea talk companions.

Life partners?

Marriage is out of the question.

But the one thing is the trust that we have in each other.
