My heart was shattered; and lay broken,
Like a thousand razor blades.
And I felt your presence near me,
A silken moment fades.
Uncaring what the future holds,
I weep and scream with grief
I cast my mind back, reaching out,
To gain a scant relief.
I ache with longing, deep and sad,
Deny what I have seen,
I tell myself, incredulous,
It must have been a dream.
Your translucent face, fragile in death,
A body far from me.
I cannot go where you have fled,
Or have, what you now see.
My soul is ripped in agony,
I cannot bear to know,
The truth of what has happened here,
It is a wicked blow.
I will not accept this hollow day,
Please, tell me I am wrong
I cannot live without your love,
It was my only song.
I hold my arms wide out darling,
And shout "I love you this MUCH!"
And finally, with a song in my heart,
I felt your gentle touch.

Compassion always
Her bittersweet foe.
Her conscience worked overtime
On Extended Care,
A soft caress,
No way to express.
A sun kissed breeze,
The rustling of leaves.
A light embrace,
A tender sensation,
Too delicate
She cowers in the corner
heart breaking
limbs shaking.
She's afraid to move
too afraid to run.
Afraid that he'll return
With his
