Shutting ourselves down after betrayal is so much more painful than the pain we imagine we will receive by opening up!

Dear Ammi

Devastating..
Sinking in the ever-deepening void
I want to reach for your hand..
Tried shutting my mind
How do I tell you
In how many ways do I miss you
Smudges on your picture
Of  kisses and tears
This heart--- full of despair
Nothing assuages the pain
Distraught thoughts in the head
This life makes no sense
Wish you could talk back ,
In your words I found solace

Seems impossible to get up now

When hope is lost
And life is nothing but dismay
