There was a crack in your voice
I have to go, step back
Care for me
But we will be ok.
Life will go on, float as it always does.
The pain was intense
I could see it in your eyes
Not just words that shed tears
But whole bodies devastated
Suddenly needing to know and understand
Everything is not always about us.
You have been ripped apart,
Repaired, sewn back together
Awoken and told you are alive
But the road back is littered with obstacles.
Be kind to yourself
Rest, know your limits, take baby steps
Its all about one day at a time.
Healing takes time
I wait on the sidelines
Desperate to be there
But kept away, I pace frantically
Awaiting news, any word that says
I am okay, I love you
I know this is hard
But I need to be strong
To know myself, what and who I am
Before reaching out to you.
Knowing you love me unconditionally
Provides me succour in this trying time.
And so I wait, I float in and out
Conscious moments give way to dreams
Where you cry my name
Clinging to one another
Against all who strive to tear us apart.
We hang in together
Finding ways to say those words
Of comfort, support, encouragement,
Enough to get us through
These dark and lonely days.

lovely piece of writing, Michael 🙂 everything’s gonna be OK, cheers!
Thank you so much ladylee…
You will make it through these dark and lonely days. Unconditional love is magic. Pixie dust motes in the sunshine. And unconditional love places no boundaries, expectations, demands. It just is. When two people find each other, love each other unconditionally, then walls can crumble, mountains and oceans crossed, torn bodies made whole, wrecked lives repaired, any and all things made possible
Wonderful writing — goes through me like a lightening bolt.
Damn, you got me crying again. Without an Kleenex.
Thank you my friend, glad I could get such a response from you, much appreciated….
Wow wow wow, Michael–achingly good.
Thank you J, glad you could drop by…
I was in the neighborhood 🙂
I hope you had your singlet and shorts on as its been very hot here today…..
Well I’m in usual shorts and T-shirt…now that we have power again, heat. I suspect you don’t care for the “very hot” any more than I do, correct?
Correct, its shut up the house turn on the air con and wait it out….
Oh gosh, I’m sympathetic and empathetic–and envious, as we do not have air con 🙂
Goodness, fans in summer?
Yep, only fans–I have 5 or 6, and in July and August it sounds like I’m living in a wind tunnel!
Michael you wrote of a heart breaking, of not being able to be with the one they love….good things come to those who wait and I hope these loves unite and get there happy ever after.
Thank you Jenny, one would hope so….
