something really broke tonight,
and i fell through.
i went to bed,
so depressed
after having had words with you.
i have not fallen quite so deep
into the spiral of my own soul,
of my own silence
in a while.
i saw lifes contradictions
i saw the nature and substance of love.

but as quickly as it had come,
it slipped away.

I asked you when we were knee high
to a blade of grass would you look
after me, never to let me go..

I asked you when we were but a breath
of years if you'd always stand by my
side, two peas in a pod you and I.

I asked you when you were a kiss away
would I be your forever, as the rings eloped
on our fingers, we both said yes.

I asked you, I remembered that promise you
gave to be always here to be by myside.
now I'm asking you to relinquish that promise.

I asked you, with a tear falling like snowflakes.
You'll always be here, but now I need to release you.
Tears fell and peace woven like silk blanketed your eyes.

"You made a promise,
*"You stood by it, ill forever embrace you in my dreams.

                    Time,
                    space
           ­         and everything in between.

                    Heartaches,
                    tea­rs
                    and secrets that don't come clean.

                    Gambols,
                    laughter­
                    and smiles beaming keen.

                    Deep thoughts,
                    aloneness
                    and the dark places we've been.

                    Handholding,
                    carel­ess hugs
                    and ready shoulders to lean.

                    Reckless stabs,
                    impulsive jabs
                    and caustic words we don't mean.

                    Contentment,
                    count­ing blessings
                    and hope we can glean.

                    You,
                    me
        ­            and everything in between.

The waves were strong
But could never break their bond.
The current of the sea could
Drag them deep down
But it could never drown their love
Holding hands their hearts entwined
The raging seas subsides
Their love did rise above the tide
Then emerge to reach great heights.
No high wave could prevent their flow
The sea has gone and is out of sight.
Now they walk upon dry land
Where green fields abound and bluebells grow.
Together they take to flight
Then reach the sky's above so high
Then fade away into the night.
