Imprisoned inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (the anguish)
As it haunts me
Crawling back into the dark
Running, always running, into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly descending
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
Blindly descending
There must be deliverance...

Today, I realized that dreams and thoughts of my late husband still haunts me. I never expected that it wouldn't, but it normally comes and goes periodically, not weeks at a time. As it drags me into sadness, I question myself, because I know psychologically what the mind is doing, yet I have no apparent control over it. It's quite difficult to want to control it when I wake up with fresh thoughts of being in his arms, smelling his skin, and feeling my head against his chest. I know that the mind will try to create grandiose memories to keep your ego satisfied, but I really do try to let it go.
Please don't think I love my life now any less. I have a good life. Some days I just need to allow myself these feelings and then try to move on.
