A Single Notebook

July 26, 2013

head down

between my shaking knees

crying

happiness

so distant

cant grasp it

my soul lost

in a dark place

my mind confused

you were here

when people weren't

you understood

when no one else did

you listened

accepted my problems

brought me back

to warm sunshine

and grew a smile

on my face
