Wounded

It happens sometimes,
With a shrug of the shoulder,
My heart is wounded,
And these bridges are burnt,
Down to the very ground on which my feet once stood.
Tears that mean more than memory and regret,
Find their way onto soot covered cheeks,
Leaving their mark; like you did.
I do know you: better than you know yourself,
For I know the shadows which you avoid,
The person you pretend not to be.
Those shadows keep me warm at night;
The age around the eyes, that were once full of youth.
I always thought we’d grow old together;
Perhaps it’s just not meant to be,
Something else written in the stars,
Across our souls.
I remember meeting your gaze,
For the first time, in a room bursting with people,
Until you looked at me, and we were alone,
In half light, you were beautiful. Still are.
And though wounded, my heart continues to love you,
The shadows I seek in you,
Mirrored only by those within me.
I suppose that eternity is a long time to spend alone.

ouch .. 2sdy, this was painful. But oh, so beautifully so. I am in love with
your writing, you know? I could wrap myself in this and find a small
comfort from it ... even through the misery and anguish; through the
pain and heartache .. through all the suffering, I see life. And life is
fabulous, (when not hurting or "wounded") . Hell, even THEN!! (we feel
so much more alive when emotional, don't we?)
Flawless captured moment of beautiful pain, hun. Glad to read a new
post. =)

Tuesday....Wow, you know, I miss you when you are not around here writing...I'm glad to see you back again and writing strong. God, this piece was beautiful and heart wrenching. Your last line is remarkable, like a brand on the body, if you will....
"I suppose that eternity is a long time to spend alone."
Gives me cold chills, my sister. *hugs you tight for warmth*
Thanks for sharing.
Peace,
Laura |
