“I’ll heal, I’m positive this time
But how will you?” I asked in despair
even after all these years.
He shrugged in uncertainty,
“I don’t know..
Maybe I’ll heal when you heal”.
A cloud of strength and hope surrounded me
My eyes welling up,
I hugged him tight.
His head against my chest,
he felt my heart racing
“Why are you stressed? Your heart is beating fast”
I on the other hand, was excited for once
as I’m on this journey of healing,
my last ray of hope I call it,
trying to pick up all the broken pieces,
scattered all around the corners and depths,
And transform into a beautiful painting
that I can draw the strength from,
and admire,
to tread forward
together with so many beautiful souls
who lost their way around,
but still breathing.
With bated breath I wait for that day..
And then when I heal,
both of us will heal, in and out.

Dedicated to a couple who is on their journey of healing from vaginismus. Vaginismus is real, and affecting many, please know that it’s not your fault you are not alone.
