Double Edged Sword
Words Hurt and Heal
Your words make me cringe
The medicine I've been avoiding
sinks deep
like a syringe
:
Surging my veins
My biology changed
:
The words that hurt
are words I needed to hear
:
Sometimes the medicine is bitter
but bitters are good for your liver
Sometimes we need to hurt to heal
but pain is temporary
as everything
:
Your words parted the clouds in my mind
Your words cleared my skies

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
