electricity flowing over my skin

arms stretching, reaching

senses, sharp, searching

to deserve such piercing words.

What did she ever do to you

to encourage an anger so deep.

What did she ever do to you

to push you away so harshly.

What did she ever do to you

except simply be a child.

my heart began to race,

many visions filled my mind,

as my eyes darted around the room.

I felt as though I’d been cornered,

fear rose like a flame,

what would tomorrow bring for me,

and would it bring more pain.

I close my eyes in hopes of melting,

into the world around me,

perhaps if I pretend he’s joking

then the future will be fine.

Too young to hear those spoken words,

Too young to have such fear,

Too young to have to say good-bye,

Too young, too young to die.

I find a reflection smiling

a security wrapping itself around me,

Blink

I see a scared image

unsure of which way to turn,

Breathe

I feel a warmth beginning

flowing through my veins,

Believe

I see a family healing

and growing each new day.

desires suppressed, covered

thoughts of us marred by shadows

a future so unsure of.

from the words slicing through my heart

Searching

for the man I cared so deeply for

Curious

as to how we ended up here

Tired

of the fighting and arguing

Weary

from being broken down

Empty

of emotions and feelings

Lost

trying to find my way home.

Slicing through my skin

Sharp edges,

Cutting away layers of my soul

Why

Your words,

Making their way to my heart

Ripping from me,

My last breath of happiness.

Why

Anger,

Pushing you deeper

Revenge,

Feeding your fire

Why

Tears falling,

from my soul

Pain filling,

Every waking moment

Why

No longer,

Can I live in fear

No longer,

Can sadness consume me

Because

Serenity,

I need to find

Honesty,

I need to feel

Because

Together,

You and I are not meant to be.

your whisper in my ear

a gentle caress on my arm

one look from your eyes.

Joy within my soul

love within my world

belonging and acceptance

of who I really am.

Longing to be with you

dreaming of tomorrow

reaching out to your hand

knowing you are near.

clouding thoughts

causing stillness .

A flicker of a moment almost in sight

almost grasped

just out of reach.

My mind not as sharp as once before

not to be trusted

not as sure.

Age creeping up on me slowly

a cruel fate

a tiresome journey.

Thank you for the lessons learned

Thank you for the love I feel

Thank you for the home provided.

Many trials we have fought

Many problems overcome

Many sleepless nights in sadness

Many in each others arms.

Memories of happy times

Memories of joyful moments

Memories of secrets shared

Memories to ponder on.

Another year of you and I

Another new adventure

A new day waking to your voice

A Happy Anniversary.
