Poetry: Emotional wounds

by Barb's voice heard

Created on: November 06, 2008

Just To Live Again

Memories clouded by a broken heart

it was not the way from the very start

not remembering now

the gifts I received last year

but chilling anniversaries

of what had been happening here

we received a book of proverbs

do not harden your heart

how can it be hard with a hole from which

it was torn apart

scattered to the wind, grief sets in

was love really there for him?

trust and respect never present

on a one way street, going the wrong way

can only lead to desaster in the end

as assertiveness starts to rise

so do white flags of surmise

look at each other, what now? Don't know how

he knows what he's done

changes made from which never should have begun

and he hasn't really won

both lost, both sad, exhausted from the fight

cling to one another for promise of hope in the night

can we ever get it right?

truning one emotion into another

just to feel again

just to live again

if only for a fleeting moment in time

just to live again
