Left of centre you stand
Speaking as if I don’t exist
On the day I really need you to be there
When I felt my body tremble
Why tell myself I needed to push through?
Why not just let go and walk away
You are the magnet
That still exerts a hold over me
And when I look to you for help
Nothing comes
I turn my gaze towards others
Now its hard to go to bed
I wait and I delay
Meeting myself in the cold and dark
But why when I am really my own best friend
Why keep looking for something more outside that is never there
And leaves me more confused and alone than ever
Why not just wrap loving arms around myself
And find peace in that company
All these external things really in the end mean nothing
You cannot take them with you
And they cannot keep you warm at night
The only warmth you find
Is in being there for yourself
In the way others can’t and won’t
Emerging From The Dark Night 
I have a Cap’n Jack Sparrow throw that, when wrapped around my shoulders, is just like my pirate’s arms around me. A bit of rum and we’re warm for the night.

Bit hard to comment on this. I guess Rum is one way of going about it, for me that didn’t really work long term. 🙂

I’m just seeing this. I was kidding. I don’t drink rum at all, let alone for company.
