Letters To My One And Only

Quiet your tears my darling
Ease your soul to peaceful existence
Untie the knots in your stomach
Shine light on the pit in your heart.

There are reasons—many, many
Find them everywhere—anywhere
in flowers, music, goals, dreams, loved ones,
This is not the answer.

Search.
Search yourself. Find one thing you love.
Build on that.
You must overlook the negative.

Life is what you make of it, they say.
It’s true.
You hold the key to shut off your own
horrible thoughts that keep up at night.

Do cry my baby.
Let out your pain.
Oh my shoulder your head can lay.
For all eternity and ever after.

In search of love?
You can find it.
You say you can’t?
Look in front of you.
Don’t you see?

Me.
