cold hand of a friend 
sanity trickles away 
biting my neck 
attracting my hope 
 
Fear kills so many beautiful relationships that might have been. I feel like  I need to weep. Maybe I need to sleep. Or simply let go... of the hope that lived in me.  
 
ego tramples love 
holds my light within 
all it needs is a word 
to again change everything 
 
Maybe I'm just being a drama queen, again. Attention-seeking behavior. I don't know... Is it to much to expect to hope to find someone who cares? 
 
Lost in the thoughts 
Triggered by a dream 
Let the tear fall 
Feel the constant scream 
 
None of this negativity will help. This I know. Light attracts light. Dark attracts dark. The solutions seem the same as ever... Seek the light. Be the light. Heal others. Heal self.  
 
Shimmering glimmer of hope 
Shines from the song of a hawk 
As he swoops down 
Eats the rat before me 
 
Up and down, to and fro, emotional rollercoasters. Maybe it's the empath. Taking on too much from others. Good to take a break every now and again. Drink down the tea; empty the cup. Be the flow. 
 
Close eyes for an instant 
Ask God for some help 
Burdens start to drift away 
New day has begun
