Every Time

every time
i think of it
my heart beats fast

i don’t know
how to deal with it
i’d prefer
to forget
the whole thing
put it all
behind me

i’d like to work it through
so i can just forget it
but it keeps
coming back
to haunt my sleep

Worse than the boogie man!! … Seriously, this speaks to me 1,000%, as it's one of the main reasons that I'm rather low on sleep these days... :) gw

Whatever this is, you must take it outside, put it into a little box, tie it with a bow, and give to your meanest neighbor. You need it GONE. Okay. Just bury it then. You need it GONE. Good luck my friend. I am sending you warm thoughts.

LOL Thanks for your most appreciated words of support, Caren. I hate it when unwelcome thoughts recur. I need a special spray bottle of Ghostbuster juice.
