Routine

some cuts never heal
daily reminders
of how we feel
slice us deep
within our heart
we beg
for its release
but it will not depart
so hard its screams
to ignore
in its silent tears
we hear more
echoing empty chambers
of our soul
brick by brick
it takes its toll
yet we go on
as if routine

and is it any wonder that we dream of picnics and merlot kisses and soft touches that whisper like an unexpected cool breeze in August...sorry...there I go dreaming again...(sigh...I guess you could tell I relate...)  ?

*sighs* Helen, are you my twin?!    I relate so much to this, heck, I find myself relating so deeply to all of your poems. You really should publish them  

Take care,
