Temperamental Transitions

It hurts; this black lump in my chest that the doctors call a ‘heart.’ No painkillers can stop the hurt, and no sleeping pills end the screaming. I’m reaching for you but you can’t understand what I’m trying to say. 1

I’m slipping back into habits you never knew I had. The habits that you stopped when you told me you loved me. How do I tell you and what will you say? I should have warned you that I’m temperamental but how do you tell the person you love that your state of mind changes with the flick of a light switch? 2

I keep wishing you’d call me to end the shouting on this end of the line. This body is held together with cellotape and superglue, and pieces of string tied up in knots. I need your help but you can’t hear my screams. I love you so much I only hope you know that.3

    Wow... you've written my heart and mind of a little over a year ago... black, charred void that had been my heart... vodka to stop the soulful screams--but it only made them louder... and, of course, the "therapy" of writing--unburdening the psyche (if only briefly) with an emotionally raw written rant...
    I'm sorry, I really have no choice here--I'm going to have to save you to my favorites... I just get your writing too well...

    Standing as I applaud!!!!!

    Kitty, I feel the pain within this piece that was penned so masterfully by you. The raw emotion that you exhibited here in the cries for help was fantastic. I know I've said this before and I have to say it again. No matter whether you write dark or light they both come shining through. Your heart is where your words come from and you let every bit of it show with your work. My dear sweet daughter, you are the mistress of the dark and an angel of light to me. Thank you so much for sharing another brilliant work with all of us. Don't stop writing, it is your forte. Lots of love, Mom xoxoxoxo
