To everyone that feels this pain. .
My heart was racing, I was scared. I had no one near. Just me n my tears, mom and dad were never near. for i had burried my special friend, deep with my mind. Hoping the nightmares would turn to forgotten tears. we use to run jump, and play. I knew no better I was a little babe.
one day I told them of the special games, we played my parents say oh my dear you must be wrong not our dear friend john. It was never spoke of again. I continued on with my special friend john.
We moved away, one day I woke, and the nightmares had gone. I never asked why, was just relieved the dreams had gone. I thought I was free of those dark tears.
Little did I know as I grew into a woman it would control my life even then.
