Care and you will be torn apart
Sometimes
For isn’t that love
Care and at times it will be hard to walk away
When no other supports are in place
Surely you are not the redeemer
But if someone is sinking and it wont take you down
Totally
Maybe just for a while you can be a life boat
For if the person drowns
How would you feel
Now I know it is said
Put your oxygen mask on
Before you help another
But often while struggling to breathe
I sensed the breathlessness of someone else
And reached out a hand over the divide
And nearly got pulled under
As I struggled so hard to keep at least one foot
On dry land
And this battle to keep standing
Is not over yet
Surely there will be a time
To loosen the threads
Binding me to
What is not mine to heal
A way to understand
That as much as we desire to stand
Hand in hand
There is a time for letting go
Emerging From The Dark Night 
SOOOO good………i completely understand each word. bless you my friend.

An insightful poem
“Our chains alter to rope
Rope shrinks to string
String frays and becomes twine
Twine is not strong enough
Finally we have to let go”……….

I get this poem so much. Often feels like we are constantly in other people’s gravitational fields.
