I see you there.
Peeking around the corner
whimpering when I catch sight
wanting to disappear
wanting to hide
but I know you are there
come into the light.
Lank hair
desperate eyes
pallid pallor
tears seep
curled inward
blackness coiling around
tethering you….
to anger
to pain
to horror
blinding you
unwilling you were to see.
No one wants that nightmare.
No one wants to live in the dark.
Take my hand
feel my embrace
I am so sorry I left you for so long.
You must have been scared
not understanding
kept
like a dirty secret
of which no one talks.
Come stand with me
meld with me
for you are I
I am you.
Without you
without your pain…..
my pain
my addiction
my rage…..
Beautiful woman
come into the light
let go
raise our eyes to sunlit skies
for we are one.
I had to leave you alone
it took me awhile to return
yet here I am
here you are
baby we will succeed!

note to self… don’t read Jay-lyn’s poetry when you’ve only just woken up! I was fuzzy from sleep, and you blindsided me with this one. I wanted to hug both of the women you are! I loved it! Ignore my tears, they are a compliment!

I had forgotten about the ‘other’ me I was. She is still in here with me I do not acknowledge her/myself easily and it is that voice who bleeds through into my work.
