I’ve had enough
I’ve wiped my hands clean
The breaking is evident
I’ve loved and lost
I’ll clean up the mess
You’ve made of me
My bones are weeping
Begging me to look inward
To step in from the cold
To let you go
If only my bones know
That I’ve been loving you
Since the dawn of time
And sometimes love
Is eternal

Dawn breaks
With jagged breath
The chill settled
In hearts too cold
To feel pain
And eyes too bitter
To see the stars
And stripes
Weeping©

Perhaps
One day you will understand
What’s it’s like to be broken
What’s it’s like to love
Hard
To bled for words
That never came
To unravel
In tears
Until then
Hold me softly
Calm my raging

I lift my pen
Tender words
Full of pain
Breathing
In the shadows
Raptured from
Defeat
Your heart
A gathering of tears
Empty paper
Fill with sorrow©

Empty cradle
Rocking
By the fireside
Silent tears
Fall silently
Barren hands
Long to hold
The forgotten
Painful memories
Held Tight
The light is no more
Receding joy
No longer my comfort
Scarred womb
Cried out
Hollow tears
Disconnect the soul
Empty cradle
My forever torment©
