Someone





silent strength 

i steal from you when mine is running

on empty-strength you instilled in me

 so long ago.



i can cry here - cuz you're not here

to see the tears and the blackness that

encircles my eyes,

	from lack of sleep and tears.

Tears that would not and could not

	come until i got to that safe place

I created in my mind.



	i trust to feel here-

my pain - my sorrow-

	the greyness that encircles 

my heart.

here - my sorrow will not turn to self-pity.



Someone in my soul who

does not invade nor intrude-

       who allows my spirit

            to soar and be free.



That safe place where we go alone

in our minds when we need to....

   to rest and cleanse.



    a space we created once upon 

a time so long ago-

    a lasting space

that cannot be replaced----



     locked away....for survival 

                                     of our soul.
