It is done. It is opened. And now there it is in your face...torturing your mind again.

The closet door was left ajar and it was all left to escape. Someone turned the knob...peeked in...resurrected the nightmares.

It must all be treated and sent on its way. The closet must be left empty. It is the only way the nightmares will disappear.

You fool yourself...punish yourself...for too many years. Everyone around you suffers from it eventually.

It is time to take up the cross, bear the burden...deal with it. Get rid of it once and for all.

Not everything has a closure that comes with a nice tidy bow. It is not gift wrapped and handed to you.

You have to deal with yourself...to get rid of the nightmares. It is the only way to save the rest of your life.

Not everyone understands. You seem so 'normal' on the surface. Your life is so sweet and smooth.

They don't see the upheaval you suffered so long ago...that created the nightmares...that you've hidden in your closet.

When you push them away and shut them out...as you always end up doing...they rail at you...they attack...they call you bitch.

There are no words to explain. You have allowed it all to happen over and over again.

The nightmares must be faced. They must be gotten rid of. Then maybe the people can stay.

Is it over yet?
You left a hole where my heart should be.

Have you ever felt on the edge of a tear?
Not sure which way to look
Not sure how to turn it around
Feeling hopeless…feeling shook

Wanting to find the running shoes
Slip out the back door
Take off into the distance
Until you can’t run anymore

Where’s the arms that should
Hold you tight and warm
Instead of safety and love
It’s like bees in a swarm

You know you are trapped
Becuz you didn’t look
Before you took that leap
Got stuck on an invisible hook

The tear threatens to drop
Wetting your reddened cheek
It makes you angry inside
You don’t want to feel so weak

So totally romantic. sigh.

As the tear rolled slowly
down her face
She wrapped herself
in his embrace

His warm soft breath
gentle sighs
Gave her peace to
close her eyes

She felt his strength
hid down deep
She knew the promises
he would keep

Where had he been
for so long
A love like this
was not wrong

There was no doubt
here they'd be
Loving each other
endlessly
