The heart that welcomes you here
Should have been your mother’s heart
A heart open to love
Without a locked door
With all feeling sealed shut inside it
With a door bared by rage
That now becomes massive compulsive cleaning
Never giving you a place to rest
Driven out of your body and your mind
Your innocent body begins to hurt
And so you seek succour in substances
Substances become the warm heart of the mother
Absent for years that welcomes you home
But over years that heart grows cold
And you find no rest
Within this icy kingdom
That draws you in with false promises
It will be a journey over a wasteland of ice
That finally leads you to the place
Where you can light an inner fire
To thaw the traumas
And terrible heartbreaks
That froze your soul
Don’t go towards the coldness now, love
Stay here by the simple fire
You are lighting within
Tend your own flame and hearth
Until it becomes a raging bonfire
Of love
And you can find a heart
Within your heart
That welcomes you home
Emerging From The Dark Night 
The heart that welcomes you here
Should have been your mother’s heart
A heart open to love
Without a locked door
With all feeling sealed shut inside it
With a door bared by rage
Omg. This physically hurt my heart ❤️

Yes my poems just come to me at odd moments, I get the first line and then it just flows out like a mountain spring. I have to write it down then and there and shape it along the way. It is full of sadness so its no wonder you cried and if you had narc mother you would relate. Hugs. ❤

Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon on a
daily basis. It’s always interesting to read through content from other writers and use a little something
from other websites.

This is an emotional piece and I love the flow of it, from what should have been in the beginning to the slow solution of realization.
