Dark river

If everyone had someone who supported them as fully as she does, this world would be a much more beautiful place. I love the way this reads, like an exhalation or release. Wonderfully written   :-)

This is a true sentiment of beauty. David, you came along right when I thought real friendship didn't exist . I can also resonate with dredging through that angry river more than I've wished to. It is gift to be granted by one with such empathy & loyalty....

However,  I have to discect this piece given it's group placement ... Drugs. So now me wonders if its a vice of choice, other than a human connection. When you phrased her loyalty & devotion to you, then referenced her heart on your pillow... my mind goes to the realm where you even keep your comfort, perhaps a glass or bottle on your nightstand . I apologize if I overanalyzed given you could've just put it in the wrong category. 😄 If I'm right, I pat you on the back & offer a big hug for showing such vulnerability! ❤

Thank you Pandy.  You have always been supportive of my writing...here and elsewhere.  I chose an unfortunate category to post this .    I honestly didn't realize I'd posted under a header of "drugs"  I was looking more toward depression mental illness and medication.  I chose wrong.   Sometimes you bleed words from the heart....and the stains  drench the the paper .  I've always described depression as a Dark forest or a dark river.    

I figured that was the case. You can still change it if you wish. That's a great title for it too. Crimson is hosting a dark write comp if you really wanna bleed.  You'd do an incredible job!

So she was a metaphor for meds, I take it?

Yes , in a way " she" was a metaphor for what keeps afloat.  Just as as "the dark river" is a metaphor for what sucks me down into deep despair.   I don't like writing dark poetry, but sometimes it just manifests itself in the need to write and express emotions.
