Breaks for you

My heart breaks for you

And all you are going through

And when I say this its not just analogy

For if there is a dimension of me

That most feels the aching reality

That you find yourself within

Surely it must be my heart

Oceanic in its truest sentiment

Exhausted and spent as it is at times

With the knowing of it

And sometimes I wish

For peace

To know relief

Could I let you fall

Surrender the call I feel

To save you somehow?

As memories come of how she died

After years and years of struggle

To be alive

I am back there holding her hand

For the final hours

Heartbreak

There was not really any time

You were absent

Is it just that this is what is most familiar to me

To ache

To long

For freedom of life

For something better

Than the pain of a burdensome life

The ones I most loved

Found themselves

Buried inside?
