On these days…I Need This...

On these days…

It is harder than it should be, it takes longer.

Proportion evades scale,
perspective is skewed.

I cannot trust my own emotions, they betray me.
I am incapable of receiving the love I do have,

Focusing on the pain of what I do not have.

I know these days are necessary,

But do these days have to hurt so much?

On these days…I want to quit, I need it to stop!

I need, The darkness, The sweetness, The sadness, 
The weakness, I need this

I need A lullaby, A kiss goodnight, The angel sweet, Love of my life, Oh, I need this

"My Skin"  Natalie Merchant
