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
