I waited years
Then this.
With tubes into and out of me
My head wrapped like a mummy
So much anger
Mystery
Why me?
I hear them say
Blind
I hear them say
Bad luck.
My mind retains you
The image you left me with
The reason I wake each day
Despite the darkness
Despite the hopelessness
There is still within me
Your singular beauty.
I am accept not seeing a sunrise
Nor sunset, nor spring blossoms
No ocean view, no back fence view.
I wail and rip myself inside
Now you have disappeared.
Your voice I hear
Through the walls of my despair,
But it’s as if only half of you is here.
There will be no respite,
So where once I craved you
Fed off every word
Your touch is now my comfort.
