I wasn't yours and you weren't mine
But in bed we laid so intertwined
Sometimes as late as one or two
And all I wished was that I could stay with you
Our hands locked together with my head on your chest
Drowning in your arms and never fully dressed
We were so lost in the moment; I was caught in a dream
One that you formulated from the second you touched me
How wrong we both were then, but look at where it brought us
Now you are mine and I am yours and none of that past wrongness matters.
She waited in peace as he took her breath away
Stood with her eyes closed as he took her to another place
Somewhere she saw only in her dreams,
She could now feel through his hands washing her clean.
A place inside her that was once evil and rough
He now stands to protect her, defending her love.
Too often we think
our story doesn’t matter,
too often we’re wrong.
I wrote this haiku on the last day of the World Suicide Prevention Week ‘15. We cannot let this movement stop here. If you (or someone you know) are struggling, please reach out. Get help. Know that you are not alone. Know that there is hope.
