for you – in pain

For You – In Pain

My love – I write these words
with all kinds the kinds of healing in mind – 
and behind the every rhyme of every line
I’m hoping for a remedial result of any kind.

So, whenever you feel that monster creeping on, uninvited, 
do me a favor, find a book to love, and lose yourself in the story,
and if that monster still refuses to back down or be quieted
do me a favor, find a lover to love, and lose yourself in the glory.

Which makes this little note my tender request,
to find the right words to release that good from out of your chest… 
and whenever you find yourself racked with pain again
cherish these words and hold them deep within…

I’ll never be able to wish away all your pain
especially if I can’t even wish away my own,
and although we may be stuck with a lot of discomfort and some disdain,
we can take all that horrible shit and transform it into something magnificently our own.
