The pain of trauma
The aftermath,
Different in each eyes
Longing for answers,
The letting go,
For some it is ,easier, as the time goes by
The pain remains where trauma left me,
Heart crippled every day
The pain so greater for me now
Your trauma, still alive today
Oh dear child, what can I do?
How can I ease your pain?
How can I show you faith in life
To want to live again?
The answer to your question is
“No it isn’t fair”
But neither is giving in
To pain and cold despair
Outside your room,
A beautiful life
Though longer not complete
Within your soul,
My love and warmth,
Hope, never obsolete
Let me help you, take my hand
Like we’ve done before
We’ll keep on knocking day and night
Until we find your door
The one for you to open up
Where you’ll have a warm safe place,
And a drawer so very, very large
To keep your memories safe
And in this room you will find
Here the very best,
A Bed to lay your sadness on
Your trauma, laid to rest
The Starting End 
This is exquisitely beautiful. “A Bed to lay your sadness on”–the most poetic line I’ve ever read, surely. And isn’t the photo wonderful.

You touched my heart. My husband died 5 months ago.I remember the exact time to the minute when he died. I was on my way to see him at Sloan-Kettering hospital. I will never forget nor will my pain lessen until we are together again. Your poem was so moving. Thank you

This went straight to the heart. It speaks clearly to anyone that has struggled to rise again, to just move a little forward. The metaphor of the bed to lay one’s trauma on is so poignant of that moment of reawakening to life and leaving the trouble to rest.
