Stephanie In Blue

I know that you are growing
in loneliness and pain.
Like a flower in the desert
you live in dreams of rain.

Embracing in the absence...
terror echoed and sustained.
Sleeping with the image...
presence yet remains.

Vestiges of sanity
repressed so long restrained.
Hard for you at times to find
a place to rest your head.

One word to say it all
a link to break the chain.
Place where someone needs you
and arms to hold you tight.

Know that you are growing 
in loneliness and pain.
I have seen you taking potions
to lengthen the refrain.

Can you look in to tomnorrow
and release your yesterdays?
Can you dream a dream unfettered
untouced by mortal ways.
