thorn2

Storm clouds rising,
overhead I heard
The thunder's warning.
Tears in the rain;
why does she cry?
Doesn't she know
I love her.
Where are the minstrels
with their songs
of love and bliss?
I only long
for her sweet kiss -
so soft
so fleating
my heart
is bleeding.
Can't she see
when she cries
I hurt too?

There are times when life gets too overwhelming for those we care about and they push away, prefering to be alone with their pain. It's too bad, but I found with the one I care about, giving her space is the only way to bring back the warmth. Come to think of it, I'm that way too - can't catch my breath when life is swirling too fast and need to step back away from all to clear my head.

Growth on our own tends to build a stronger self confidence compared to others who hold us and coddle us everytime life knocks us down. Through pain we find joy, eventually......boy am I ready for the weekend - waaaaayyy to serious for a Friday night!
