The same flame.

All you wanted was my attention apparently I'm good at denying what makes me feel uneasy
its better to push and move the shadows into the corner of the room
Or place them in a cupboard I need not enter, I tried relentlessly
to move on in my mind
Easy to pretend you were a Stanger, that I didn't know you, that we'd never met, but you speak the loudest when ignored
Though I built a tolerance to those voices around me yelling loudly
one of my greater attributes was to self console,  somehow you
faded, almost like id found a way to block you out, I ran from you in your time of need, when things were crazy and thought to be of a twisted reality - we had lost touch, paired with darkness, but always carrying the same flame
I remember when you were small, I fought for you in times of fear, gained courage to change the world we lived in, held you tight and promised
never to let you go
That I would fight the darkness, tame the shadows, grow flowers in any space it hurt, just to view the beauty our eyes were created to see
- remember when you almost drowned, how precious the daylight came and went, knowing just how important life was and what living ment, I didn't abandon you then, I shouldn't leave you now, I guess we'll make it through
Together , we'll heal,  I know Somehow,
I see the road ahead, the 
Opportunities, every stage, but you must be strong and durable
And forfit any rage, I'll keep the candle burning
And hold harmless any blame, together we can teach our spirit the strength that we once knew, I'll be more patient
And understanding when
It comes to you
Every time I feel emotion
Connecting me with the truth I'll take a breath and then remember the younger me in youth, the girl who grew into a woman, Still carrying that infant soul, I promise to never leave you again, you're back now
I am whole.
