You brought the light
When it was so dark
You reminded me of the possibility of love
At the deepest time of loss and sorrow
When I thought that all was lost
And I was willing to pay any cost
For us to be together
I opened up my heart to you
But when the vacant space opened
Through the abyss I fell
As suspicion and mistrust twisted my vision again
And so I lashed out
Instead of holding
Until you responded heartbroken
Now it seems that all we had
Has been blown to smithereens
But only in my mind
And so I got a powerful glimpse
Into my heart of darkness
You tore me open
To reveal everything
And a lot of it isn’t pretty
And see how far I have to go
Before I can truly be
Equal to love
And as I pray
You will not take the light away
I realise so much more
Than I ever knew before
Of all the mixed up ways
That masquerade as love
But are really only part
Of a passing parade
Of emotion
Wrought by the pain
Of love
So deeply buried
And unspoken
Emerging From The Dark Night 
This was packed with so.much emotion.
Loved the line about all the ways masquerade as love.

I will try. I tend to always assume the worst. I am seeing I am the worlds biggest over reactor. Its just difficult when all communications with someone are via text. I am finding that aspect so hard. Thanks for the encouragement, Andrew ❤

You see, that is what I hate about these times we are living in. Text is not the way to resolve anything, If anything it will only make things worse. My heart goes out to you.

At the outset of all this I said I didn’t want to text but I went back on it. I really wish at times I stood strong and never even got a mobile phone.
