I woke up screaming.
Yet your name escapes my lips
While my mind is caught in your memory
And your lingering pain is like iron on my soul
I woke up crying
My tears filled the room like red roses
Your infinite emptiness is like a vacuum
Sucking the salt from the air and my breath
I woke up fighting
Struggling against the assault of your love
Pushing your shadow away
Cursing your lies and hurtful words
I woke up breathing
In and out, to the gentle sun coming in the window
Mind comforting body, consoling heart
You cannot make new memories for me to hate
I woke up trying
To remember the last time you walked out
The last time your words shred my soul
And I could no longer see your eyes
I woke up grateful
You will never hurt me again
You cannot find my heart anymore
You will never hear my voice at you again
I woke up.
I am thankful I woke up.
I woke up.

I know you went through a rough patch. I obviously don't know what it was all about, but I assume it was a relationship/ marriage maybe.
One of the great things about you is a great sense of humor, and an ability to have fun, but also the ability to look at the less than stellar stuff of life with honesty. I think makes a person healthy, and you are one of the healthiest. That's the way I look at things anyway.
That is great.
