I Never Wanted
I never wanted to watch
you leave broken and lost-
In your man-made “happiness”
disintegrating in the mist
of rising discontent and fear.
I never wanted to see your
body crumble, unable to bear
the weight fate cast.
Your martyrdom-
travels through
the darkest parts of me.
.
Turning my gaze away
I still see my own
reflection,
in those tears which
seep into the marrow,
eroding stone set hearts
which cannot help but weep.
seep into the marrow,
eroding stone set hearts
which cannot help but weep.

This is agonizing, it had a powerful effect on me as your words always do wow stunning. I hope all is well!

ReplyDeletedef felt...and heavy...watching them fall apart, watching you fall apart...or feeling responsible for those tears....
ReplyDeleteBroken, lost, crumpling, weeping - really sad one Lisa
ReplyDeleteA sad thing to witness...and yet there seems to be a softening with those tears eroding the stone, which I hope is a good thing. Very moving piece Lisa.
