Of my healing

In the dark you whispered my name

As the breeze blew its way in

Caressing our skin as we lay

Entwined

In tousled sheets

At the ending of that spring

And then when winter came

Life grown colder was all that remained

As we fought over issues of

Distance and closeness

Ghosts hovered

In the shadows

Making their claim

And there were so many things

You never told me of the past

Until we ended

That she loved Luka Bloom too

And how many things I did

Must have reminded you of her

But now all of the pain lies in the past

And I wonder

Do you ever think of me?

I was not free in those days

I see it now

And I had to follow that painful road

Until it disappeared

Into the tangle labryinth of a darkened wood

While you travelled on to find new love

Which broke my heart

Anew

But now all of that pain lies in the past

And yes it is true

The passing of time makes these wounds smart

Less than before

But I will not ignore

What flame of love

You set a light in me

And what recognitions came

Breeding awareness

Of so many things

Over the long years hence

Of my suffering

And my healing
