Somewhere
in there...
past the pain,
further than the hurt
can entertain your brain
a mind in motion
continues on
beyond the ugly words
damages inflicted
upon the gentle soul within...
whatever, it was
that wounded you so deeply
that it's turned you inside out
turned the sweet emotion
to leave only bitter tastes
sidetracted the loving devotion
somewhere, somehow
it seems
we all crave...
made nightmares of
our lost chance at
what we saw as love
it was our soul
caught in the headlights
of a coming train
take hold
don't lose control, again
an inner voice remains
reverse the course
reject the choice
to hurt somebody else
for what somebody did to you
the poison of your choice
gently learn with loving care
to replace
the painful memories
with loving thoughts
and understanding
to see what
we are not always
wise enough to see
heed the call
hear the voice
of others who have shared the pain
and suffered
through the reign
of chain reaction pain
and misery
