Let me reach
My veins exposed
You pick at my soul
Don’t stop my hand
Let it go
I grasp with
Fingers curled
I am raw
Love does that
Senses heightened
The ones we love
Let me reach
I’m here for you
You’re not alone
You never were
Let me in
Blunt the thorn
That tears my heart

It is hard to write, this is the first thing in 8 days, I’m hoping to return.
Ramblings From A Mum 
i am glad you are writing. smiles.
feels like an emotional write.
cool last couple lines on blunting the thorn.
I feel,like you should have written #1 ~ smiles
Yes it is Bri, things haven’t changed, we are on a merry-go-round
Thank you I changed them last minute, appreciate you reading & caring.
Wrenching Jenny. Beautiful. >KB
Thank you so much KB
and how you transfer pain to pen is stunning.
Thank you Beth xx
I’m glad you wrote this Jen, as painful as it is, it is beautiful.
Thank you very much Col xx
“Blunt the thorn / That tears my heart”
Wrenching, Jen. Glad you’ve popped in for a minute. Painful emotions here.
Thank you Tess, it seems strange to write at the moment, emotions are still high unfortunately xx
You don’t find it helps to wring it out and heave your emotions onto paper?
Not really, I guess that may sound odd, perhaps a split second as the words form in my mind, but after I write, the flood gates are closed once more. Hugs for being you x
In the context J that’s a really potent write.
Thank you so much my friend.. Yes I’m right ‘in the moment’ as one would say. Hugs
Take care
This went into spam…. thank you R
Probably the best place for me 😉
No ~ never.
I’ve missed you Jen, but I feel connected now through the words you shared here. You’re not alone either.❤️
Thank you darling, it takes a great deal for me to try and put something down on paper these days, before I didn’t really have to concentrate,… now.. Thank you for being here, supporting, love you ❤ x
We want you back.
Oh Willow, you made me cry – hugs and love and thank you so much xxx
Hang in there Jenny, it is good to see you writing again. express your pain and trials through your words that you shape so well.
Thank you Michael, I appreciate your kind comment as always.
Being there and supporting is a beautiful thing to do… emotional and expressing deep love. 🙂
Thank you so very much anmol ~ appreciated.
That you are finding words at all, Jen, especially such as these, so expressive of this time, I’m so very glad to see. They may not give you more than momentary release but sometimes getting those strongest of feelings onto paper is enough to keep going, one floodgate at a time. My thoughts are with you and your family.x
Thank you Anne-Marie, yes fleeting release but helpful. Thank you for your thoughts and your continuing kindness. xx
Amazingly beautiful and wrenching lines, Jen. Huge hugs xxxxxx
Thank you gorgeous, taking those hugs xxx
Beautifully conveyed! Sorry to hear you are having struggles with finding the words 🙂
I need to read through some more and catch up to get informed. I’ll leave you with this:

This went into Spam also- sorry Lou. I have heard this song so many times, this time watching it, I cried my eyes out. This applies to my daughter and to me I guess. Thank you so much. ❤ xx
xox
glad to see you, Jen ~
Appreciated – thank you Michael.
It is very touching…please continue writing
Thank you so much for reading and your kind comment Eezna.
This is beautifully crafted, so raw. To be the unconditional love that can accept pain for another, a rare and wonderful gift that you give….
It’s what we do as parents, wanting to take their pain away from them whenever we can. Thank you so much, I appreciate your kindness.
Exquisite talent in expressing this in words, Jen! Your pain that creates tears like that thorn, is so vivid in your description, my dear! You are in each of our hearts, while we are worrying and caring for you. If only we could make it disappear, we would do this! I’d like to give that young woman a ‘talking to!’ xo, Robin
I wish a ‘talking to’ would accomplish anything, but with her condition, sadly it won’t. She and I and those who know her, need skills to get through the roller coaster of emotions that she experiences. Thank you so much, I know it’s difficult for others to understand, hopefully through my words, I am able to bring even the smallest detail of her life, my life right now. Hugs xx
Those last two lines are so poignant.
Very kind of you to say so, thank you Sarah xx
