Why you? Today?

I found your letters today
I have always loved your poems
Why you? Today?  

We were such a mess for each other
We hurt each other deeply
Trying to figure out where we were going

Crashed into each other
Abused each other
Damaged ourselves

A tornado in the room
Of emotions passions words fire
Love, yes there was love…

We were searching for it
Thought we could be soul mates…
We wanted a soul mate desperately

That’s how we lived…desperately…
Fire and ice…highs and lows
The extremes, a miracle we survived  

Today I read your poems
Your words a comfort
Why you? Today?

Turbulent as we were
We made wild choices created chaos
Passion for living, we fought to find it  

You, in a moment of quiet
Separate from me
Made a discovery, found who you were  

I was angry, so offended
I was nasty, brutal, harsh
All the things I hate about myself  

I trashed you abused you more
Tried so hard to destroy
The person you had found  

It’s been five years
I found your letters today
Reading you words...wishing

Why you? Today?
Is it the discovery you made
That brings me closer?

I am searching for me
Seeking to find?
Or accept the truth of who I am?

I have no right to ask
There is no reason you would
Even give me a thought

Can you tell me, please?
How you found yourself?
Accepted who you are?  

Why you? Today?
Sitting here reading your poems
Wishing you happiness

Quietly seeking,
In the only way I know
Words, words, words  

Live lightening crashes
Solitary moments
Seeking searching

Why you? Today?

beautiful! i would have commented earlier but i didn't read this poem until now. it was wonderful though and i loved it. i understand it completely and the emotions you show are so clear even though you use few words to describe them. i loved this one and it is truly one of my favorites written by you. please, keep writing.

life may just take a while but i guess heaven's worth the wait

I truly "felt" this one, from beginning to end. Incredible, and beautiful.

Admittedly beautiful,wrenching,

you make this seem an easy task, this rueful write.

I hope that you (and I) find the (y)ourselves that we seek.

You know...I'm speechless, so I'll just give this a bump.

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

I loved the different style of this one, WIWG. A good flowing piece with an excellent approach.

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm; yes,
