Keeping a distance
I could not deal with your existence
You were as I remembered;
Strong and abled.
You were the flower that withstood storms,
The nightingale that sung the loveliest songs.
But you no longer could bend without breaking,
or sing without choking
What is left is a life of struggling,
a body that is slowly crumbling.
Refusing to accept reality,
I tried denying life's cruelty.
Then I touched you,
and felt the emotions I tried to seal
Gushing out in waves,
tears rolling down my face.
Finally, it dawned on me
that it is time to accept life as it is
To stop living in denial,
And accept life's trial.
And trust that God will give you comfort,
while I keep you happy with all my effort.
When the day comes and you have to go
Deep down, I will know
That we have walked through this together,
and that is all that matters.
