Where do you go?

[... when things are bad]

There are times when the mountains
come crashing down on top of me....
The weight on my mind is a thick blanket
that I just can't lift.....
I tell no-one .... because to speak of that burden
seems to make it heavier somehow.

In times like this I retreat into routine .....
.... close my thoughts and drift till the next event.
Don't let my mind think about what or how ....
Just drift for a while....

What do you do ..... in times like that?
You and I have talked and I know
that you have the bad times too .....
Where do you go?

Can I come too? When you go to your bad place...
can I come too? .... it will be a better place
if I can share it with you ....
And I know that my bad place would be so much better
if you were with me there..... will you come too?
