methadone dreams and nightmares
methadone dreams I still have them
all last night I was fighting to get there
down city streets saw old friends along the way
junkies I knew once upon a time
they were still doing the same old thing
when I finally got there
sweating profusely, phening
I asked for my dose card
they said
"Crimsin you haven't been here in years
you're the 1% that got off methadone maintenance
after 13 years you're a sucess"
they said
"you have a phone call"
it was my mom who abandoned me at age three
cos she was schizophrenic
all of a sudden we were at court house park
I was five chasing the squirrels while my mom watched on
there was a crazy lady there
and I explained to her as I watched the scene
that my mom always took me there for visits
cos we had to stay close to the cps office
I told her my mom died when I was nineteen
another crazy lady came out and she talked to me
the first lady said she doesn't talk to anyone you're in
then I walked into the hall there was junkie there
I asked him did the methadone clinic treat meth addiction
I awoke sweating profusely
with tears in my eyes
my mom came through to me in dream time
after all these years and with all the spirits who talk to me
she was always silent
I don't know what her message is
the one percentile is pretty impressive
it's been eight years now no methadone
still I miss it, in dreams I chase it
damn I think my life is supposed to mean something
I didn't cross into hell and come back for nothing
see you on the flip side

That sounds like a harrowing night, beautiful Dark Angel. I'm sure your mom will make her intent known in your mind at some point. Keep listening and see what she has to say. I love you
...ever your Willow
...ever your Willow

Crim, you are an inspiration...you write so vividly from the darkest recesses of your soul...then you galvanize
those words into something beautiful.

Sorry to read of your sorrow Brenda. Dreams can be bastards. Academics/Therapists have written volumes on the subject, but these words offer little solace when the dreams become lodged in the mind. Rob x

I needed
a good cry ...
Wow,
just wow.
I miss my mom
but i don`t
know where
she is, and
the majority of times
I don`t care.
This was beautiful, my Queen Bren,
a Keeper ...
i love you, Devlin

"I didn't cross into hell and come back for nothing." Key line, seems to me. You returned from the inferno as a woman of experience, albeit harsh. I'm always amazed at your bravery and skill.
