purgatory
we like to call it
not so lovingly
the bated breath
between
our adventure
one we did not ask for
-in, out, in, out-
don't stop breathing
π€
now home
is just my person
and my days go by here
like i'm a stranger
without purpose
π€
even those
good intentions
were impossible
π€
once i was hard
and my skin
full of cells
screaming
to be cleaved apart
then you came
an expert seamstress
stitching me back together
π€
the waiting now
threatening to split me apart again
the love in my heart
is exponential
and impatient
and the wait
only worth
the end
π€
so grey sky
empty heart
temporary
and painful
but temporary
this is not forever
π€
But it feels like forever β
Days and nights shielded
From the sunlight.
And the empty void of
Where my heart once was.
Thumps like a metronome.
Marking time.
Waiting.
Suspended on ropes
We did not tie.
No
No. It is not forever β
I will it to be so.
For time to
Stop its
Cruel
Charade.
I look down at my hand β
More often than not
Just to feel you
-the smooth wood
Of you wrapped
Like love
Around my finger
Our forever β
The only forever I
Will truly
Ever know.
One day soon
We will smile
Rose tinted and dewy eyed β
Safe.
Knowing we made it through
The darkest of days
Renewed
And unbroken β
Together.
Ready for
Eternity.

Whoaaaa, that was so intense and beautiful! I loved it!
Simply beautiful. π€
I thought this was gorgeous - wishing you both all the happiness in the world.
Wow! Very intense! Nicely done, my friend!
Poignant - as Michelle said. You have such a gift and power for words, friend. This is beautiful and cutting, honest and brutal too! Loved it.
Love builds, then shatters. Poignant.
