In My Head
I held you so small
before it all.
I saw the light.
I felt the breath of my dreams
silence the screams
in my head.
Now I hold at most
a baby ghost.
A space I once knew.
I play with emotional toys,
a boy and his joys
in my head
Once mine was all mine,
a place in time
where I used to be.
I bathed in sweet, savory love
sent from above,
in my head.
Now I try to fake
and imitate
the taste of the past.
But my senses are down
my defenses bound,
in my head.

No words....
Thank god it's not all in your head Josh. I find it sad but true that often the greatest creative inspiration comes from the greatest pain and struggle. I have to say that you both are internalizing this pain and transforming it in the most beautiful and amazing way. Its a gift to all of us and I thank you. Love you guys
