I hope you know things
It may not be possible for you to know
Unless I tell you
For we do not live
Inside each other’s bodies or hearts
And sometimes things that happen
Can just tear us apart
But to me what matters most
Is to preserve the connection
Is this right or wrong?
Can I hold on
Or would it be better to let go?
(Maybe only my soul can know
The right way to go)
And sometimes pain is hard to embrace
When we wish the wound
Did not ache
Quite as much as it does
And when we are torn
Then the deepest part of me so often feels
Inconsolable and oh so alone
But I know that these are only feelings
With deep roots in the past
That will come and go
But sometimes when I am drowning
Deep inside that void
It swallows all the air
And then the pain
Feels like it will never disappear
These are the times
I take the hand of my child
And place her on my knee
As I try my very best to befriend
The terrified part of me
Hoping I will be soothed in time
And the agony begins to ease
But so often
When this happens
It feels ever so much
Like
I am dying
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Couldn’t have said it any better than this.

I don’t feel like I’m drowning anymore
I’m now floating on top of the debris

Thats good to hear. Me too after a lovely night with friends. Loving connections warm our hearts. Upsetting ones can land us in dark places.
