I wept and wept and wept more so than ever.
Built a bond where the outer exterior was harder to vaporize than vapor.
Planned on a promised forever,
Which faded to tomorrow to no longer.
What was promised to me was given to another.
Endured the plunge to one of the coldest cores.
Yet, I saw, like a completed puzzle, how unconditionally my heart can belong to another. Shivers still remain, but a hug of warmth nevertheless lives inside.
Yet, the old persona died, when the two coincided, leaving nothing to hide, except for a high tide.
Watch “the one” in the arms of another.
Thrown out to learn how to let go.
Insanity came, followed by cries of mercy to the Most High.
Reminders in different faces everywhere I go.
Life became a torturous walk on hot coals.
In the midst of chaos came one with a similar resemblance.
Test? Heal?
Heard the talks, the songs, read the words,
but never did I see coming my own tears being played as part of the tune
Been through it all.
Question: Why? How long? What for?
Pain, misery, and my name are interchangeable.
Joy only comes for vacation.
Walked nights with water streams on my face,
Body with bruises deep beneath the surface.
Yet, they say keep going.
Stay strong, the time is coming.
Without a doubt, they don’t know the trouble we’ve seen.
Hope and faith is all that’s left
Hope for a better tomorrow,
Faith that change will come.
Been through it all.
