hello

welcome, turmoil my unwelcomed friend.
greetings to you my muse, my inspiration.

for a while i thought you had abandoned me.
i was glad to be without you,
but not foolish enough to believe you'd gone for good.

so, welcome.
today i acknowledge you.
however, i must apologize to you
for today i have no tears for you.
today i suffer not for you.
i merely accept your invitation and i'll journey with you
for the time being
and then go along my way.

it was a relief to be without you,
my unwanted companion.
oh god how i wish to never see you again
my long time friend.

but what am i without you,
without heartache there is no joy
without pain there is no pleasure
without you there is no me.

hello
