lost and found

“i have something to tell you…” (cues dramatic soap opera music)

“I hate to drop this bomb on you,
but there is something I have to tell you…”

whenever I’ve heard those words in my life,
it was always associated with something awful.
it was said to me when I found out my mother had leukemia.
another time,
I was being told that a friend I trusted was slandering me behind my back.
the last was I was fired from that last job I was at.
that sentence has never been good for me.
that sentence came from my therapist today…
