Grounded in Betrayal


He’s gone.

Name 5 things you can see

 

He chose alcohol again.

Name 4 things you can touch

 

He chose her again.

Name 3 things you can hear

 

I’m alone again.

Name 2 things you can smell

 

My heart is shattered again.

Name 1 thing you can taste

 

My world is destroyed again.

Inhale for 4

 

Twenty-two years gone.

Hold for 4

 

How can I go on?

Exhale for 4

 

How can I be strong?

Hold for 4

 

I survive.
