Tell me
How long until
My hands unfeel
Yours in mine
How long until
My eyes unsee
Your blue eyes
How long until
My ears unhear
the sound of your voice
How long until
My heart unloves
A relentless love?

sassenach
shattered dreams
and infringed vows
left alone
with a broken heart

swollen eyes
and tongue tied
all the tears I’ve cried
my tormented agony

Days are filled
with sorrow and pain
sleepless nights
and a distressed mind

will this be the end?
of a fragment herald
and if you are to love,
love me with a broken heart.

Where my heart was
There is an empty space
I leave it that way
Just in case
I find one
To replace
The one you stole
From me

Look me in the eye
Look at my face
This is a condition
Only you can erase

Give back my heart
You broke it apart
Now let your love
Be the glue

To start the repair
Then put it back where
The empty space
Holds its place

Without it I am empty
Without you I am empty
I’m holding a space
For you

A heart was lost
held captive to dreams
full of sweetness.
woke with a smile
for days, weeks, months
a year and more.
to a day here or there,
to nothing as before.
a heart once sated simply
by smooth tones
laced with sensuous visions
transformed into longing
for a renewed friendship,
fueled now with joy and love.
distance created an awkward quiet
sense of used. yet,
we are missed
this known by He
who allowed our time.
time to hurt
until love is renewed again.
a heart knows
love cannot transfer
Nor erase.
mature infinite love
will not submit to complication.
this true love
is full of hope
enough to have overwhelmed
one feeble soul.
Love is often forsaken
by immature hearts.
we know,
pure love overflows from ours.
There is silence,
There is lost time
with much space between.
nevertheless,
a heart is lost no more.
for she is safe now,
there,
deep within yours

Dreamt of growing
old with you
The pair of us
wrinkled and gray
In our garden
surrounded by
grandchildren and flowers
Thought our life
would end this way
But illness has come
On a solitary journey you travel
I'm here
watching you
trying desperately
not to unravel
So in my memories
forever young
you will be
While I get to keep living
When all I ever wanted
was just
you and me
My thoughts
overwhelming  
My heart filled with dismay
But it doesn't matter
how much I wish
it's not going to help you stay
So I shall just sit here
holding your hand
Telling you
I love you
and hoping you understand
Finding Todd's illness overwhelming at the moment

Memories intact

amongst
the  chaos  in   your   head
     
                                           

Your words sit silent in a mouth which no longer speaks

Frustration and anger

show

behind coNfuSEd eyes  

Features at times expressionless
A canvas blank
Void of colours

Take my hand
I shall guide you
Watch out for you
Protect you
Be your voice
So you are heard
Understood
Cared for
Loved
My husbands illness

I wonder if you know,
that I used to watch you sleep.
Not in a weird way,
not being a creep.

Just watching,
your head on my chest.
Running my fingers through your hair,
and trying to match each breath.

Do you know that your lip,
does this cute, pouty thing?
Or that you’d sometimes giggle,
at what seemed like nothing.

It was always then,
that our future seemed clear.
No worries, or arguing,
simply no fear.

I think watching you sleep,
was when I loved you best.
Both of us smiling,
and two hearts at rest.

I’d give anything,
to hear that giggle again.
Or to feel your soft breath,
whisper on my skin.

All I want is a rewind to those times
When we talked for a long while
Seated under street lights
We were always together at nights

Staring at the moonlight
Our minds were filled with doubts
About what our future seems like

Then it went viral
That we were together
You asked how

I still don't know why

And it all sums up to now
Thinking of how we drifted apart
It was just too fast

But that was all in the past
All I wish for now is a rewind
So I can win back your heart

I really need a rewind ......
Typical me.........

Seated on a chair coupled with a table
Wanna write something about you
But nothing does comes through

I'm confused
Could it be we're no more fused
Or our bond has been loosed
Am trying to find you
But you're no where close

I only see foes

How could I have known
That you'll turn out to be this cold
Even though I was never told
I still couldn't  decode
That there ain't gonna be a yold

Seems our memories have been stolen
My heart is broken
I can't help but open up

Even when you said it was over
You weren't sober
At times I solemnly wonder
If we're really lovers

But I hope you see this and reconsider

As I looked into your eyes
I knew something was wrong
And then you said goodbye
We had been together too long

You said you didn't feel for me
The same way I did for you
And after years of our love
We were actually through

I said you won't go
You said you can't stay
But how was I supposed to know
It would all end that day

I told you how much I would miss
Each and every day
And that was when we kissed
And you turned and walked away.
