Embrotic memories of a time Pieced together and stitched An incomplete puzzle From the childhood nightmare Like reflections In shattered glass Staring back The child stares at me Probably wondering, curious Questioning how this came to be When the memories push Catapulting me into the present A journey built on a foundation Always seeming to crumble With every step, splitting Between right and the conditioning Depression looms, drowning darkness I see the light, diffused above Reaching I gasp, crying Shadows twist and tangle From the weeds pulling me back A touch, gentle, a grip Takes my hand, pulling My face breaks the surface A lover's kiss, no The Lover's Kiss, Devine Breaks my lips Breathes, gives, sparks life Hope That takes me from the edge Dispels darkness, clears for light Forever I'll struggle Tempted by others Taunted by the past Threatening to topple I am resolved to stand The shell is broken My child grins, plays In my shadow, my present Gives, providing her safety Not then, but now,

The Shell
Embrotic memories of a time Pieced together and stitched An incomplete puzzle From the childhood nightmare Like reflections In shattered glass Staring back The child stares at me Probably wondering, curious Questioning how this came to be When the memories push Catapulting me into the present A journey built on a foundation Always seeming to crumble With every step, splitting Between right and the conditioning Depression looms, drowning darkness I see the light, diffused above Reaching I gasp, crying Shadows twist and tangle From the weeds pulling me back A touch, gentle, a grip Takes my hand, pulling My face breaks the surface A lover's kiss, no The Lover's Kiss, Devine Breaks my lips Breathes, gives, sparks life Hope That takes me from the edge Dispels darkness, clears for light Forever I'll struggle Tempted by others Taunted by the past Threatening to topple I am resolved to stand The shell is broken My child grins, plays In my shadow, my present Gives, providing her safety Not then, but now,
I love you, My Eternal
