Insanity...

as I listen to the rain pouring
outside my window, I think of you.
Scared and alone, lost in your madness.
I cannot imagine your pain.
and I hurt for you.

You wanted so much to love,
to be loved.
and yet you cannot accept love.
and worse,
you have no idea how to return
what is freely given to you.

So you will always be alone,
inside the madness in your head.
And you will always bite
the hand that reaches to pull you up
and out of the seething darkness.

Yet I will always reach my hand to you
and hope for a day
When I will feel your hand in mine,
and you let me pull you into the light

where you belong...
