Sometimes

About a friend..

Sometimes, I lay in bed reading the story of my life,

and what I've noticed is that

Sometimes,

Your name stands out on the page.

Sometimes I cry in my sleep

from all the scars and cracks that

earlier rejection has left me with.

Yes, sometimes it hurts,

but when I'm with you, the pain dulls,

And I'm left with the echo of your name through my heart.

I open myself up and find kindness,

but when I want to,

I can be ruthless.

Fortunately, that side of me is not dominant.

It seems like the only light or warmth

in this cold, harsh world

is from your heart,

But there is also darkness;

Cracks and wounds from hate and heartbreak.

Sometimes, I wonder how you get through each day..

Sometimes, you amaze me.

"Sometimes, I wonder how you get through each day..
Sometimes, you amaze me."

These are fantastic lines to finish a wonderful write. I am very fond of this, and I think it expresses a depth in its mixture of emotions. Most of all, it has an element of respect and wonder, and I think many of us have forgotten to regard others with such an attitude. It's easy to fall head over heels, but to recognize another person as having their own "Cracks and wounds from hate and heartbreak" takes a deep understanding of the complexity within each of us as we interact with each other. Fantastic work, here. A favorite.
