And maybe that was all it was
But when I grow so weary my eyes refuse to open,
And when I hear those cathedral bells,
Honouring the passing of hours
In a way that clocks never seem to manage,
Well, that is when I remember,
When I allow a few tears
To leak from that sealed up well within me.
That is when I allow a few moments of pain,
A few moments of heartache
For everything that it was,
For everything that is stole,
And for everthing it continues to be.
Because sometimes a shadow is all we know
And sometimes it just clings to our feet.
I think I'm beginning to get better, in the sense that I can now see how much better I am. But I'm not there yet and sometimes I need to acknowledge that yes, it was just as bad as I remember, worse in fact as I don't remember the summer that it got really bad. 
But other times, well, other times I forget that it even happened, and I think that's healthy even if I still need to step outside of my own head sometimes.
