Compassion

Sorrow is my companion As a shadow that follows me Pushing the past into the front Demanding that I finally see Acceptingly I turn my attention Call this exiled part of me home Sitting together in silence You will never again be alone Finally, knowing you are welcome I am sorry to have pushed you aside Disowned you when all that you wanted Was to acknowledge, and let go my pride Healing with love and attention You soften your hold on the pain Knowing you were always a part of me Two become whole once again
