Umbrella Pain
I'll never let you see
the way my broken heart
is hurting me
I have my foolish pride
and know all to well how
to hide away my sorrows
and pain, I do my crying
alone in the rain
sitting under my umbrella
I wish I could give you
my pain for just one fleeting moment
not to hurt you but,
to make you comprehend
how much you hurt me
you promised to catch me
if ever I fell ,alas you did not
the fall shattered my heart
and it lies in pieces beneath
my tree of life and upon
silent wings of night I cry
maybe one day they will
be swept up and put in a jar
and kept on a shelf waiting for repair
but for now leave me alone in my despair

Sometimes... I believe. It is good to let someone know how they have hurt you. It kind of helps let it go. My counselor told me I keep too much in, rather than tell somehow how I feel etc, I keep it to myself and I should try speaking what I feel and see how that feels for me, so I do now, and I must say, getting things off my chest lifts such a weight.
A beautiful poignant write DD.

Reminded me of the 60s song "Crying in the Rain".
It's good to cry than to bottle up - as true of words as of tears. I have not found it easy physically to cry but I'm not afraid to get my shoulder wet with another's tears.
