Darkened Days

It's been difficult lately for tim, and frustrating for me. Depression is such a hard thing to live with, both for the one that suffers through it and the people around them.

 

Try as he might, and I am not surprised by it, tim tries to push away the bad things he feels. It is a constant fight for him. 

 

People say he's a man, he should put the past behind him.  Move on, fuhgeddaboudit!

 

he does, a lot, but with his dad's passing, well, I wish the brain had real door that can be locked. It doesn't and it's the same for all of us I think. If your past wants to catch up with you, you rarely can out run it.

 

Yesterday it caught up with him. Like a runaway train, it caught him, and flattened him. 

 

he is okay ... but my frustration brought out some words:

 

 

Darkened Days

 

I know that he suffers

I know his world is grey

Nothing that I can do,

Will take his pain away

 

I can love him with my body

I can kiss away the tears

But I will never be man enough

To banish forever, his fears

 

I try and show him life is good

I try and point out sunny skies

But it's life that's done this to him

And it's that I cannot disguise

 

He clings to me on darkened days

He clings to the light I offer

All I can do is hold him tight

And whisper: I always be your harbour

 

 

I love you, boy xo

I know the desperation of someone's attendance with you when you need the most. You being with tim was a solid reason he is strong, even though it might or might not enough in your opinion. So don't downpour it on yourself, but be strong for tim as you are always. Lots and lots of hugs to you both. Take care of each other.

Thank you Emi. I'm not down on myself, but I realize I cannot fix everything for tim. But he will never be without me. And thank you we will look after each other! You take good care also!
