I plunged into her thoughts
I wrote all of the
isolation
terror
and
repudiation
The depression
and
shame
I felt with every heartbreaking day.

Into her essence
I wrote all of the
panic
and of course the
illness
I poured in all of the anguish
incompetence
that consumed my soul
as the light faded.

Into her mind
I wrote myself
In that way we could endure
I wrote so I could fight
relentlessly
Hopeless in the face of pain
Keeping us alive.

Forevermore
