You are still so real
To me
The love you gave to me
The sense of us being two parts of one whole
That now when my heart breaks open
The wetness of that rain spatters over everything
I ache with the missing of the you
I thought I knew
As I feel the cold hard materialism of my past
Where things and possessions were supposed to provide
The substitute for present engagement and love
The angels say there is a band we form around our hearts
Due to the past
And that healing only comes as we allow ourselves to love
Over and over again
The band that we brace and form can keep us so bound up
To surrender the control
Means loosening the threads
And comes with the feeling of
Obliteration
And yet this is perhaps the journey
I am now on
All I can do is love through all of this
Even as I gaze upon the empty ways of men
Grown deaf dumb and blind to
The agonizing cries
Of the human soul’s
Overwhelming need
To love and be loved
Emerging From The Dark Night
