She hid among thorns,
liking the way they tore at her flesh;
Counting the drops of blood
became an obsession,
hypnotized by the tiny red streams
trickling down her ivory skin...

I toss and turn, but
sleep won't come
to one who is tormented
by the past, by the
demons that won't let go;
I want to rise up,
make coffee, clean something,
wash away the stains of . . .

Sometimes I try and imagine
what it must be like
to never be able to see past yourself,
to live life so engrossed
in your own problems
that you never see anyone else's pain. . . .

Tragedy
Bending steel
Unbearable pain
Life goes on
But never the same

Pain can be pleasure,
make you feel whole,
squeeze out tears
that drown the soul.
Pain can bring solace
once the weeping is done;
Scars may remain
but they point to the . . .

So here we are, just us two,
miles apart,
and I keep thinking of you;
I want to reach out,
for I feel your pain;
I feel your longing,
for mine is just the same
Remembering your voice,
your sweet . . .

I'm crying, and it makes me mad at myself.
I thought I was tougher than to cry over
being called a name. Haven't the years
hardened this heart, once so fragile? I
remember how I . . .

I hug my pillow tight
and close my eyes,
remembering
your smile, your touch,
your gentle voice in the night;
I'm so afraid of forgetting
what you sound like when
you laugh,
or the way

The night is long without you
and my pillow is no solace
to the pain I feel inside,
soaking up these tears
that fall from my eyes;
I think of my head
against your shirt, your skin,

I wrote this as an aid for little ones that have been molested to feel free to admit the truth. (I had a child in mind at the time.) I tried to speak to some of their doubts . . .

Walls close in,
and there is no escape
from this self-induced hell.
Wish I was spry
like the gingerbread man...
Oh, God...I would run away
as fast as I can
and escape . . .

Who are you?
Haven't we met?
Loved once?
Laughed?
Actually liked one another?
Where did we go?
Was it the ballgames,
Cubscouts, homework?
Your work?
Was it when I
Went back to school?
Was . . .

It's so hard to let go
of this wheel that is spinning;
So afraid of the fall;
So afraid of the sinning;
So afraid of the pain
and the look in your eye;
So afraid of the heartache
when I . . .

Soft as a whisper
you come to me,
amidst the ashes
amidst the tears;
Arms wide open,
my heart is closed,
not quite ready
to face its fears;
I give what I can,
afraid to . . .

I feel so tired,
and these teardrops
won't stop falling;
Nothing is the same
since you're gone.
I look in the mirror,
and its me...just me
standing there,
loneliness my
only companion. . . .

Hungry eyes,
aching heart;
Please go away;
You're tearing me apart.
You laugh,
you smile
with the innocence
of a child,
never knowing
I'm dying inside.

When trouble falls soft,
Like summer rain,
There is almost a pleasure
In the strength . . .
The shelter of loving arms;
But when the storm becomes icy, cruel,
The protecter weeps, breaks,
When . . .

You heal me for an instant
with your honey words,
your magic hands,
and eyes that pierce
like daggers
straight through my heart.
Funny how such a healing
feels so . . .

I'm so tired.
Tired of being strong,
tired of holding on,
tired of smiling
to cover up my pain.
I'm so tired.
Tired of holding things together
through any kind of . . .
