Dawn & Dusk

Hello Pain
We’ve met before
Earlier today actually
Before my feet hit the floor

Back so soon?
You only just left
You took all I had
And left me bereft

You made me watch
Memories from my past
Don’t you remember?
I can still hear your laughs

No, you stayed for quite awhile
You always do
Put your bags in the lobby
I’ll show you to your room

Here it is
Sorry, it is a bit brighter than before
I have made a few changes
Upgraded the décor

Feel free to come and go
I know you have a set of keys
I am busy with other things now
You’ll have to look after your own needs

I have a new friend called Hope
He’s just down the hall
And my mate Resilience
Is just through that door

Self-compassion and Discipline
Have taken the room upstairs
Perspective and Faith
Can be found through there

Thanks by the way
It was you who made me reach out
After all these years of misery
Look what you’ve brought about

You moved in
My life to destroy
In followed all these friends
Whose company I now enjoy
