When did you become the enemy?
Why are you forsaking me?
I am already broken.
All I ask is that you help heal me.
What do I need to do to get you to like me again?
My once dearest friend Sleep!
When did you become the enemy?
Why are you forsaking me?
I am already broken.
All I ask is that you help heal me.
What do I need to do to get you to like me again?
My once dearest friend Sleep!
Am I lost if I just go with the flow?
What about turning down the wrong street?
Where do I go to find help?
Do you understand me?
Yes this is my destination?
Did I arrive there?
I’m still in one piece.
Happy to have wandered.
Last night was an adventure.
Neighbours escalating minor transgressions.
This morning I am sore.
The cats demand then reject the love.
Work will begin soon enough.
Coffee is not my saviour anymore.
I don’t have enough money…
I need a new job…
I want to go on a vacation…
My house is messy…
My children are being disobedient…
My friends are ignoring me…
I whine too much..
and yet all of my problems are solvable.
Are yours?
The place where you will find solace.
Where you can relax and not be afraid.
Welcomed for who you are.
Free from torments and vulgarity.
Food, water and a sense of comfort.
Love unconditional.
I will give you all this.
My heart wishes for nothing more.
I can manage my life.
To teach my kids their worth.
To show how I am able to function.
Do the necessary things.
and still know how to have fun!
Snuggles and caresses.
Happy sounds resound
as breakfast is eaten.
My morning is complete
now that the cats are back in.
Legs barely covered
or not.
Loose fitting
or tight.
Comfortable in the weather of summer.
All I have left are pajama shorts.
Yes!
I don’t have to leave home today!
You smile even though the anger boils inside.
Your eyes narrow in concentration.
People believe you are thinking hard
when in fact you are confused.
You stride purposely through the crowd.
In reality you are running away.
Life overwhelms you and all people see is someone who has it all together.
Nobody understands how truly desperate you are!
To say good-bye hurts so very much.
I loved you for as long as I have known you.
I would not say it was a very long time
but my love was strong and deep.
It caresses my soul even today.
I do not know if I will ever stop loving you.
So I will let you go
knowing you will find your way
and I will love you no matter what you do!
