Leaving
When we left each other,
My heart broke into a million pieces,
Spreading over the cosmos.
A tender voice within me,
Silenced years ago,
Whispered softly,
“Come sit with me”.
So I sat,
Staring into the eyes of my heart,
I sat there squirming like a five-year-old child,
Yet something within me stayed planted on that hard chair,
unable to find my usual ideas and plans for comfort,
The taste of regret on my tongue,
I look again into the eyes of my heart,
And to my surprise,
See only my soft vulnerable heart smiling at me,
Without you, my lost love,
I cannot breathe in the warmth of your brave stance,
receive your steady protection,
Feel your deep silent river,
I cannot receive the gentleness of our kisses.
I feel the years of my chosen silence,
Years of stubbornness, my need for distractions,
Not showing my cards of vulnerability,
Pulling you to meet my unvoiced needs.
Another glance into the eyes of my heart,
And the love whispers of my heart come, “Stay with your love,
Let it eat you alive,
Until all that is left,
Is your soft, vulnerable beating heart.
Remember always,
The gift of your reopened heart,
Is the creator,
Of miracles”…
