Alone

I heard this haunting song today after reading my friend Rich’s blog (http://bagofraisin.blogspot.com/).

It is a glimpse into the life of many of us lonely souls. Even with people coming in and out of our lives, often our lives feel empty. It is really hard to be deep and intimate and feel connected with people, when everyone is in and out of our physical lives like a blur of color.The scene in this video where she was sitting on a bed and all these people are flashing in and out of her bed just made me realize our lives are all the same. For many of us we are so alone. People come in and out of our lives and we can’t always connect on the deep levels that we need to, and before we are ready, they are gone. We yearn to grasp and hold on to these wisps of color going in and out of our lives but to no avail. It makes us sad. But when Adrien and I are together...everything else around us is flashing in and out,,,but we remain together With these small amounts of physical and emotional connection with people, we can often feel lost, or alone, and sad. This video and the words of the song, are really impacting to me.

Breath Me, by Sia

(image placeholder)

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
