A poem for my family :)

Hoping for Recovery

By: Erin 

Mother and Father I love you so

I was your princess, my King and Queen

Brother and Sisters I love you so

I was your comrade, my partners in crime

Hugs and Kisses – laughter too

Dancing and spinning, singing and talking

Darkness fell one horrid night

ED attacked, and terror jumped inside our home

 Ugly words, fear, hate and blame

Tears were never-ending

Exhaustion, frustration, anger

Exhaustion, frustration, anger

Exhaustion, frustration, anger

I ran from you and the darkness of our home

….darkness followed

At times terror consumed my very being

I wanted you, your warm embrace

You rescued me a number of times…. But tensions always returned

It is not until now

After facing the darkness

Do I see your Love

Was there always

Each day

Holding your breath

Hoping for

Recovery
