Walk Alone
To know you will walk alone,
to kissgood bye the one you
love – unscathed the heart
until it found you,
as turbulent as wind –
unrestrained, violent
and still I am here –
love – vanished.
How physical a feeling
now removed,
a feeling so mystical you
stirred up a storm;
others never knew
you – so well.
Oh so worldly – oh
so common – to forgive you –
disregarding shields of armor
protecting ones self from anger
a shrill inside my head.
Then I heard your voice
I knew I craved to see you,
run to you, kiss you – it was me
playing with anger, I
loved you still.
I guess I never felt
pain – I survived.
Photos of your face are
embedded in my mind –
those days we shared,
hours, minutes, and no one
else could love you more.
Pain left a broken
heart – as an open sore.
I want to reach,
touch, kiss, and love you.
I want to run and hide,
yet I stood still, for I
feared life alone.
A crutch of hate,
and laughter,
keeps us together –
but some have forgotten
time.
I won’t survive in
armor anymore –
“She use to smile,
love, and laugh
while keeping peace.”
They told her she made
each day worth living.
Now in pain she
turned to stone.
I never dreamt,
you would die the
way you did –
committed to your
silence, there I
stood. How brief
our parting had
become.
My life with you –
behind me, now a
vacant stare –
no time to share
my love
the door is open
from above.
