Long Way Home

Seeing Spots

It finally happened

I don’t quite believe it

But I do

We all knew it was coming

Yet now that it’s happened

I don’t know what to say

What to do

How can I help you?

In this time so bleak?

I’m seeing spots

I can’t even fathom what you’re seeing

How would I react?

I don’t even want to go there

You?

I haven’t seen you yet

But I know you’re strong

But you can’t keep everything tucked inside

Deep where it can hide and fester

Gnawing at you until it bursts out

We can’t let that happen

So I hope

You’ll talk to me

And know you’re not alone

And things are going to be okay
