I see in your unforgiving eyes the things that you will now never know The love I gave you freely regardless of your faults An extended family that loves without question or judgement For you have never known such a love and do not recognize it Instead you fight it, scream at it and punish it until it perishes before your eyes Happiness sabotaged and you reign triumphant feeling vindicated for your actions
Love has left this marriage, this house Taking with it my peace of mind Equilibrium shaken Identity robbed Feeling naked Leaving me maligned
The view of future obscured with dense fog I claw my way through not knowing where the path leads Sunlight intermittent Brief and encouraging Only to be snatched away From the remnants of tangled weeds
A cloud of black rain doused the fire in your heart The hatred left to fester slowly eating away at your core You are the victor of this battle Taking no prisoners and you now live alone with your ugliness for ever more
The flicker of movement in the corner of my eye Warm breath on my neck A soft touch against my cheek These things Let me know of your presence
When sadness consumes me or I dissolve in a meltdown the house lights will flash That little bird sitting on my shoulder Whispering in my ear and I know you’ve heard me
These subtle messages of communication Imagined or not give me the strength I need to grow without you for you have gone now to somewhere else across the Universe
She wandered the castle’s battlements every evening Flaxen hair pulled back Tied like a barley stalk Haunted and haunting searching endlessly for the love forever lost to her
From across the water she could be seen as the sun left its pale, yellow light to the grayness of dusk The lady in white A lost soul searching endlessly for poetic justice
