the shock hits your heart in tidal waves…
you just wait for it to end…
then the unwelcome panic and pain begin to settle in….
your world is shifted forever…
what you knew could never be the same…
even when someone else hurts you…
somehow you find yourself with tears and blame…
then you’re in a place of helplessness, trying to find a way through…
but the part of you that can’t let go won’t let you accept another view…
you hold on and hold on…until your hands are raw and bleeding…
you won’t leave what once kept your heart alive and breathing….
but then you realize the pain you feel…
you are the one sustaining it and making it real…
a complicated dependency…
but letting go becomes the only way to break free…
when you face your fears instead of run from them they fade away…
love then fearlessly finds a home and you know all will be okay…
