Healing

I awake frightened, confused
familiar warmth has disappeared.
Four o’clock, wee hours at very best
finding her in the living room dark.

Legs tucked under, holding tattered blanket
her tears wetting, matching pillow.
Love washes over in wave after wave
knowing she has, out here to cry.

She left our bed to be alone
to not wake me with her sorrow.
Even in anguish, she thinks of me
comes to the dark, alone to weep.

Remembering a co-worker, once upon
saying how she shines, brightens.
Wonderous as she radiates love
when to office she dropped by.

I join her on our couch
together we cry, memories cutting sharp.
A sharing, never should have to be shared
we hold, finally silent, spent as morning comes.

Next morning, put on fresh face
pretend our world; recovered, safe.
Until the next, wee hours at very best
crashing memories, tears... welcome another.

I'm left with a saddness. Yet, a warm feeling that love is there to carry one through that saddness - together.

I'm sorry you and she are having to go thru this process. It's so hard on both of you and it is hard on Mike and me, having to deal with it from so far away. You have my prayers and thoughts. Love you.... Sis

appreciate the input...but
my work is not drawn from experience.
My work is fiction, constructed,
fabricated.  Our personal relationship
has never experienced the above piece...
it is fiction. Thank y'all for the caring...
