Melancholic
How I cling to
Forever far off
Farther behind you
Where words cannot
My eyes try
Denied my heart
And foolishly still I
Cling to the wish
How I miss you.

I come back.

Abused.
Jack R Fehlmann Nov 2021
Will I? Love.

As once I had
Fallen?

It is into these pools
of light collected
I come to know myself
The thoughts.
Never confessed.

Jack changed.

But just once
Devastated.

Ill equipped this heart.
A cruel keeper.

So still.
As are my chances.

Jack changes
From the currents
That purpose favor.

To walk with me.

Moments of unspoken.

Body moves my unwavering
Sense of nothingness.

An image.  Of but the One.
A life ago flew off.
But just now I found you
This scene much different.
It tears me up
to see something so precious
Earthbound and haunted
Torn down, broken wings now
Fallen.

Trying desperately to hide
The clearly seen secret
How it feels within.
The ways we attempt
To feel okay.
Medicate it.

How you've fallen.
Ask for help, you'll have it.

She stared down at the silhouette
As it rushes up to meet her.
She made no noise, she didn't scream
Her broken wings trailing behind.
All she seemed to think
was nothing would save her
And she didn't care.

In few words
Such life changing
well placed intent
All consuming,
To
You.

Alone.

But what words could
Convey an inkling
Such
pressing importance
As these lips say

But my oath

To

You?

I
Meant it.

I.
Do.

Like spark my vision became
As opposite as night and day.
And were I looked was good
My mind had turned around
From the reflection spoken
Too often knowing
Blame and ruin  didn't matter
I had come to realize
I've all I need.  I've lived
Now I see.  I was getting only
What my mind made for me.
As I started feeling greatful
To this world that gave life to me
I began to be changes
I could see my way to joy
And prosperity came to me
Not like a stream
It is a crashing wave
All that's good came to me
Only love is all I am now
Thank you world dear mother
For all is good since the turn around
